Document Summary
Laws of thermodynamics: 1stfirst law of thermodynamics: 2nd second law of thermodynamics is commonly known as the law of. 2nd law of thermodynamics, statement describing the amount of useful work that can be done from a process that exchanges or transfers heat: 3rd third law of thermodynamics: The third law of thermodynamics states, regarding the properties of closed systems in thermodynamic equilibrium. The third law of thermodynamics states, regarding the properties of closed systems in thermodynamic equilibrium: the entropy of a system approaches a constant value when its temperature approaches absolute zero. System: the portion of the universe that we are considering. Isothermal: a system that is kept at a constant temperature by adding or subtracting heat from the surroundings. Heat capacity: the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 c (or 1 k). (little c in equations) Useful information: specific heat of water = 4. 18 j/g c.
