8. Concept Check
A gas is enclosed in a container fitted with a piston. The applied pressure is maintained at kPa as the piston moves inward, which changes the volume of the gas from x 10-4 m3 to x m3. How much work is done? Is the work done on or by the gas? Explain your answer.

9. Concept Check
J; work is done on the gas because the work and volume change are negative.

14. Calorimetry
Qp = m c  t at constant pressure, the change in energy of a solution is equal to the mass of the solution times the specific heat capacity of the solution times the change in temperature.

15. Bomb Calorimetry For constant volume, (bomb calorimeter)
-P  V =0, so  U = Q - W, but W = 0, So U = Qv
Qv = c  T,
c= heat capacity, the energy required to change the temperature of the bomb 1C

TTRANSFORMED ENERGY.
E ENERGY IS CONSERVED FOR ANY SYSTEM AND
ITS ENVIRNOMENT. 

17. Cont’d ** U = Q - W or Q = U + W**  Q = AMOUNT OF ADDED HEAT
   W = EXTERNAL WORK DONE.
   U = CHANGE IN INTERNAL ENERGY

18. Sign for energy flow Sign indicates direction of flow exothermic = -Q,
endothermic = +Q
work done on the system = -W
system does work on surrounding = +W

19. Process Terms Isovolumetric means that the volume doesn’t change.
Isothermal means that the temperature is constant.
Adiabatic means that energy isn’t transferred as heat. Usually occurs quickly.
Isobaric means that the pressure is constant.
Isolated has no interactions with surroundings/environment.

20. Specific Processes for 1st Law
See Table 2 for isovolumetric, isothermal, adiabatic, and isolated system.
Isovolumetric: W=0, Q=U = mcvt
Isothermal: U=0, Q = W
Adiabatic: Q= 0 =U+W or U = -W
Isolated: Q = W= 0, U = 0

No cyclic process that converts heat entirely into work is possible.
Without “help” heat flows from higher heat to lower heat.
Systems go in the direction that increases the disorder of a system.
“The universe tends to be lazy and messy.”
