FAQs on Cheat sheet: Thermodynamics - Chemistry Class 11 - NEET

1. What is the first law of thermodynamics?
Ans. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. In a closed system, the total energy remains constant. This principle is often expressed in the equation ΔU = Q - W, where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system.
2. How does the second law of thermodynamics apply to real-world processes?
Ans. The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. This implies that energy transformations are not 100% efficient, and some energy is always lost as waste heat. In practical terms, this means that processes like the operation of heat engines or refrigerators are limited in efficiency, and natural processes tend to move toward a state of disorder or equilibrium.
3. What are the differences between isothermal and adiabatic processes?
Ans. In an isothermal process, the temperature of the system remains constant while heat is transferred in or out, typically occurring slowly enough to allow thermal equilibrium. In contrast, an adiabatic process occurs without any heat transfer to or from the surroundings, meaning that all energy changes are due to work done on or by the system. This leads to temperature changes in the system.
4. What is the significance of the Carnot cycle in thermodynamics?
Ans. The Carnot cycle is a theoretical model that represents the most efficient possible heat engine operating between two temperature reservoirs. It consists of four reversible processes: two isothermal and two adiabatic. The significance lies in its demonstration of the maximum efficiency achievable by any heat engine, providing a benchmark against which real engines can be compared, and highlighting the importance of temperature differences in energy conversion.
5. How do thermodynamic laws apply to everyday appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners?
Ans. Thermodynamic laws govern the operation of refrigerators and air conditioners by facilitating heat transfer against its natural direction. These appliances utilize the refrigeration cycle, which includes compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation. The second law of thermodynamics is crucial here, as it explains how work input (electricity) is used to move heat from a cooler interior space to a warmer exterior environment, thereby cooling the space inside the appliance.
