INTERNAL ENERGY
Internal energy of a system is the total amount of kinetic energies of the atoms and molecules of which the system is made up of and the potential energies associated with their mutual interaction. The value of the absolute internal energies cannot be measured. What can be measured is the change in internal energy […]
CHEMICAL ENERGETICS
In this chapter, the thermodynamical aspect of a chemical reaction is dealt with. During the formation of any compound bonds are cleaved and formed. Due to this breaking up and forming of bonds certain amount of energy is associated which is studied with the help of chemical energetics.
NOTE: All […]
THERMODYNAMICS
What is thermodynamics?
Thermodynamics is the study of laws that govern energy changes (chemical or physical) i.e. the conversion of energy from one form to another, the direction in which the heat will flow, and the availability of energy to do work.
Types of thermodynamical process
ISOTHERMAL PROCESS
A process in which the temperature of the system remains constant […]
