Document Summary

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but the total amount of energy is always conserved. The first law has many implications: the most important one is that with energy, you cannot get something for nothing. So when dealing with energy the best you could get would be a perfect transfer between two types of energies. The sign of the reaction would be positive because ( e=e(products)-e(reactants). The energy flow would be from the bottom to the top. Explain how the high specific heat capacity of water can affect the weather in coastal versus inland regions. Has a coastal city surrounded by a large mass of water. On the other hand, nagpur is an inland city surrounded by a large mass of land. In both the temperature during the day increases because of the sun but in the case of land, this will raise its temperature faster than in water.
