Thermodynamics Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 11
- Thermodynamics:- It is the branch of physics which deals with process involving heat, work and internal energy. Thermodynamics is concerned with macroscopic behavior rather than microscopic behavior of the system.
- Basic Terminology:-
System | Part of the universe under investigation. |
Open System | A system which can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings. |
Closed System | A system which permits passage of energy but not mass, across its boundary. |
Isolated system | A system which can neither exchange energy nor matter with its surrounding. |
Surroundings | Part of the universe other than system, which can interact with it. |
Boundary | Anything which separates system from surrounding. |
State variables | The variables which are required to be defined in order to define state of any system i.e. pressure, volume, mass, temperature, surface area, etc. |
State Functions | Property of system which depend only on the state of the system and not on the path. Example: Pressure, volume, temperature, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy etc. |
Intensive properties | Properties of a system which do not depend on mass of the system i.e. Temperature, pressure, density, concentration, |
Extensive properties | Properties of a system which depend on mass of the system i.e. Volume, energy, enthalpy, entropy etc. |
Process | Path along which state of a system changes. |
Isothermal process | Process which takes place at constant temperature |
Isobaric process | Process which takes place at constant pressure |
Isochoric process | Process which takes place at constant volume. |
Adiabatic process | Process during which transfer of heat cannot take place between system and surrounding. |
Cyclic process | Process in which system comes back to its initial state after undergoing series of changes. |
Reversible process | Process during which the system always departs infinitesimally from the state of equilibrium i.e. its direction can be reversed at any moment. |
- Kinetic Energy:- Energy possessed by the atoms or molecules by virtue of their motion is called kinetic energy.
- Internal Energy (ΔU):- Sum total of kinetic and potential energies of atoms/molecules constituting a system is called the internal energy of the system.
(a) ΔU is taken as positive if the internal energy of the system increases.
(b) ΔU is taken as negative if the internal energy of the system decreases. - Heat:- Heat is the part of internal energy which is transferred from one body to another an account of the temperature difference.
- Work:- Work is said to be done when a force acting on a system displaces the body in its own direction.
dW = Fdx = PdV
W = P(Vf -Vi)
(a) If the gas expands, work is said to be done by the system. In this case Vf > Vi, therefore, W will be positive.
(b) If the gas is compressed, work is said to be done on the system. In this case Vf < Vi, therefore, work done is negative. - Thermodynamic variables or parameters:- The thermodynamic state of system can be determined by quantities like temperature (T), volume (V), pressure (P), internal energy (U) etc. These quantities are known as thermodynamic variables, or the parameters of the system.
- Equation of state:- A relation between the values of any of the three thermodynamic variables for the system, is called its equation of state.
Equation of state for an ideal gas is PV = RT - Equilibrium of a system:- A system is said to be in equilibrium if its macroscopic quantities do not change with time.
- Relation between joule and calorie:- 1 joule = 4.186 cal
- First law of thermodynamics:- If the quantity of heat supplied to a system is capable of doing work, then the quantity of heat absorbed by the system is equal to the sum of the increase in the internal energy of the system, and the external work done by it.
dQ = dU+dW - Thermodynamic Process:- A process by which one or more parameters of thermodynamic system undergo a change is called a thermodynamic process or a thermodynamic change.
(a) Isothermal process:- The process in which change in pressure and volume takes place at a constant temperature, is called a isothermal change. It may be noted that in such a change total amount of heat of the system does not remain constant.
(b) Isobaric process:- The process in which change in volume and temperature of a gas take place at a constant pressure is called an isobaric process.
(c) Isochoric process:- The process in which changes in pressure and temperature take place in such a way that the volume of the system remains constant, is called isochoric process.
(d) Adiabatic process:- The process in which change in pressure and volume and temperature takes place without any heat entering or leaving the system is called adiabatic change.
(e) Quasi-static process:- The process in which change in any of the parameters take place at such a slow speed that the values of P,V, and T can be taken to be, practically, constant, is called a quasi-static process.
(f) Cyclic process:- In a system in which the parameters acquire the original values, the process is called a cyclic process.
(g) Free expansion:- Such an expansion in which no external work is done and the total internal energy of the system remains constant is called free expansion. - Reversible isothermal and adiabatic curve:-

Gram molecular specific heat capacity of a gas (Cp), at constant pressure, is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 mole of the gas through 1ºC keeping its pressure constant.
Cp = Mcp - Difference between two specific heat capacities – (Mayer’s formula):-
(a) Cp - Cv = R/J
(b) For 1 g of gas, cp - cv = r/J

FAQs on Thermodynamics Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 11
| 1. What is thermodynamics? |  |
Ans. Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of heat, energy, and their interconversion. It involves understanding how energy is transferred between different forms, such as heat and work, and how it affects the behavior of systems.
| 2. What are the laws of thermodynamics? | |
Ans. The laws of thermodynamics are fundamental principles that govern the behavior of energy and heat transfer in systems. The three main laws are:
1. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
2. The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time. Entropy is a measure of the system's disorder or randomness.
3. The third law of thermodynamics states that as the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a pure crystalline substance also approaches zero.
| 3. What is the difference between heat and work in thermodynamics? | |
Ans. Heat and work are both forms of energy transfer, but they differ in how they are transferred. Heat is the transfer of energy due to a temperature difference between two objects, while work is the transfer of energy due to a force acting on an object and causing it to move.
In thermodynamics, heat is denoted as Q and work as W. Heat is transferred across a temperature gradient, while work is done by applying a force to move an object. Both heat and work can change the internal energy of a system.
| 4. How does thermodynamics relate to everyday life? | |
Ans. Thermodynamics has various practical applications in everyday life. Some examples include:
1. Household appliances: Thermodynamics is involved in the functioning of refrigerators, air conditioners, and heaters. These appliances transfer heat from one place to another to maintain a desired temperature.
2. Cooking: Thermodynamics plays a role in cooking processes, such as boiling water, baking, and grilling. Understanding heat transfer and energy conversion helps in achieving desired cooking results.
3. Power generation: Thermodynamics is essential in power plants that generate electricity. It involves converting heat energy from burning fuels, such as coal or gas, into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.
4. Automotive engines: The efficiency of car engines is influenced by thermodynamic principles. Combustion processes, heat transfer, and energy conversion are crucial for optimizing fuel consumption and engine performance.
| 5. What is the significance of thermodynamics in chemical reactions? | |
Ans. Thermodynamics is crucial in understanding and predicting the behavior of chemical reactions. It helps determine whether a reaction is spontaneous or requires an external energy input.
Thermodynamics provides information about the direction of a reaction, the equilibrium state, and the maximum work that can be obtained from a reaction. It also helps in calculating the heat and energy changes during a reaction, which are essential for designing efficient chemical processes.
