Types: Open, Closed, Isolated
Mnemonic:"Open, Closed, Isolated—Systems Defined, Energy Controlled!"
Explanation:
Open = Open system allows both energy and matter to be exchanged with the surroundings.
Closed = Closed system allows only energy to be exchanged, not matter.
Isolated = Isolated system does not exchange either energy or matter with the surroundings.
Mnemonic: "Energy’s Conserved, Heat and Work, Together Preserved!"
Explanation:
Energy’s Conserved = The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.
Heat and Work = Energy is transferred as heat or work between the system and surroundings.
Together Preserved = The change in internal energy (ΔU) equals the heat added to the system (Q) minus the work done by the system (W): ΔU = Q - W.
Types: Pressure, Volume, Temperature, Enthalpy
Mnemonic: "Pipes Vent To Engines"
Breakdown:
Types: Isothermal, Adiabatic, Isobaric, Isochoric
Mnemonic: "Isha Adds Ice Cubes"

Mnemonic: "Spontaneity’s Flow, Energy Goes Low!"
Explanation:
Spontaneity’s Flow = A spontaneous process occurs naturally without external influence.
Energy Goes Low = For a process to be spontaneous, the system must move towards a state of lower energy.
Mnemonic:"Entropy’s Rise, Disorder’s the Prize!"
Explanation:
Entropy’s Rise = The second law states that the entropy (disorder) of the universe always increases.
Disorder’s the Prize = In any spontaneous process, the total entropy of the system and surroundings increases.
Mnemonic:"Zero Entropy at Absolute Zero—Energy’s Free to Go!"
Explanation:
Zero Entropy at Absolute Zero = The third law states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero (0 K) is zero.
Energy’s Free to Go = At absolute zero, the system has no disorder and no energy to be transferred.
