Enthalpy of a System

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Thermodynamics and Energetics > Enthalpy of a System The enthalpy of system is defined as the sum of the internal energy of the system and energy that arises due to pressure and volume. It is denoted by letter H. Mathematically, H = U + PV Where, H = Enthalpy U […]

Concept of Maximum Work

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Thermodynamics and Energetics > Concept of Maximum Work According to the first law of thermodynamics, ΔU = q  +  W    In an isothermal process, ΔU  =   0, ∴   q   =   – W Therefore, all the heat absorbed by the system is utilized to do work. […]

Work Done in Chemical Process

Science > Chemistry > Chemical Thermodynamics and Energetics > Work Done in Chemical Process Pressure Volume Work: Consider an ideal gas having definite mass (say n moles) be enclosed in a cylinder fitted with weightless, frictionless, tightly fitted, movable piston. Let ‘A’ be the area of the cross-section of the cylinder. Let the gas expand […]
