Unit 2: Thermodynamic

They will have the same temperature

Observation that the temperature of an object can affectsome physical property of an
Object

The definition of thermodynamic equilibrium

*two objects are in thermodynamic equilibrium when they are the same temperature

If two objects of different temperatures are brought into contact with one another
They will eventually establish equilibrium
- insulating materials reach equilibrium alot slower than conducting

Assigns a number to the temperature

Uses the freezing point of pure water as the zero point and the boiling point as 100 degrees
With a linear scale in between extremes

1°C =1º f * 100/180 = 1º 5/9

TF = 32 + (9/5) * TC

Temperature at which molecular kinetic energy is at its lowest minimum
- -273.16°C

Measurement of temperature starting at the absolute 0
- Designate by the letter k for kelvin

K=c+ 273.16

R = f+459.69

- The equation of state
- devivation of the state variables enthalpy and enthropy
- determining the speed of sound

The force required to move an object. Also the conversion of energy into motion

The total energy contained within gas due to motions and interactions of its motecules

E2-E1 = q-w

Joules = newton-meter (foot - pound) or w=f*w

W= pV

Force/area volume = force X length
