Ideal gases cannot be liquefied, have no forces between molecules when not in contact, do not have size, obeys the ideal gas equation, and the internal energy is a function of T.
State what is meant by an adiabatic change of state.
A change in which there is no exchange of thermal energy / heat between the gas and surroundings. Q=0.
State what is meant by an isochoric change of state.
A change in which the pressure changes without a change in volume. W=0.
State what is meant by an isobaric change of state.
A change in which the volume changes without a change in pressure. p=constant; V/T= constant.
State what is meant by an isothermal change of state.
A change in which the pressure and volume changes without a change in temperature. U=0.
Describe the conditions for a real gas to behave like an ideal gas.
High temperature and low pressure.
State the second law of thermodynamics in terms of heat.
Heat cannot flow spontaneously from a material at a lower temperature to a material at a higher temperature.
State what is meant by entropy.
Is a system property that expresses the degree of disorder in the system.
State the second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy.
In a system a process that occurs will tend to increase the total entropy of the system.
State what is meant by heat.
Heat is the non-mechanical transfer of energy from a material of higher temperature to a material of a lower temperature.
