The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
“If system A is in thermal equilibrium with both system B and system C, then B and C must be in equilibrium too.”
thermal equilibrium
no change of state occurs when the two are in thermal contact.
The 0th Law indicates that….
the existence of a property of a system that is independent of its nature and which defines thermal equilibrium - we call this property the system’s temperature.
Internal energy, U
= total of KE + PE
KE
Translational energy
PE
R,V,E
The internal energy at a temperature, T, is given by the internal energy at 0 K, U(0), plus the mean energy at temperature, T:
U(T) = U(0) + <E></E>
Example internal energy formula
U(T) = U(0) + NKbT.
WHERE N IS NUMBER OF MOLECULES
If N= avocado thus NaKb it equals …
R , 8.1* j mol-1
The First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy
“The Energy of an isolated system is constant
Energy = heat + work
Energy = heat + work
ΔU =q+w
. For asmallchange in the internal energydU,
dU=dq+dw
Again,dqis
the heat exchanged (+ve if absorbed)
anddw is
the work exchanged (-ve if the system does work).
