A reaction or process in which heat is transferred to a system from its surroundings is endothermic. The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of the universe is constant. The change in the internal energy of a system is the sum of the heat transferred and the work done.

Internal energy changes equal the algebraic sum of the heat transferred and the work done. In systems without temperature changes, potential energy changes equal the work done by/on the system. The internal energy cannot be measured absolutely. Thermodynamics concerns changes in the internal energy, not
24 lis 2022 · Thus, changes in internal energy are associated with the heat transfer of the process, which can be measured by monitoring the temperature of the gas at the beginning, \(T_i\), and at the end of the experiment \(T_f\).
The first law of thermodynamics is actually the law of conservation of energy stated in a form most useful in thermodynamics. The first law gives the relationship between heat transfer, work done, and the change in internal energy of a system.
The change in the internal energy of the system, Δ U Δ U, is related to heat and work by the first law of thermodynamics: Δ U = Q − W. Δ U = Q − W . It follows also that negative Q indicates that energy is transferred away from the system by heat and so decreases the system’s internal energy, whereas negative W is work done on the ...
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.
Recall from Chapter 2, internal energy is a form of thermal energy. A system at different states may have different internal energies due to different temperature and pressure at each state; therefore, is a state function. It is important to note that the change in internal energy in a process depends on the initial and final states, not on the ...
