Thermodynamics

  1. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
    If bodies A and B are each in thermal equilibrium with a third body T, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
  2. Triple Point of Water
    Liquid water, solid ice and water vapor can coexist in thermal equilibrium at only one set of values for pressure and temperature.

  14. Heat Capacity
    Is the proportionality constant between the heat that the object absorbs or loses and the resulting temperature change of the object,

    Q=CΔT
  15. Specific Heat
    "heat capacity per unit mass"

    Q=cmΔT

  17. Molar Specific Heat
    When quantities are expressed in moles, specific heat must also involve moles (rather then a mass unit).
  18. Heat of Transformation
    The amount of energy per unit mass that must be transferred as heat when a sample completely undergoes a phase change.

    Q=Lm
  19. Heat of Vaporization
    When the phase changes is from liquid to gas or from gas to liquid.
