The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the difference in energy transferred to or from the system as heat and

• mass

• work done

• force

• pressure

Which best describes ENTROPY?

• Useful heat energy needed to drive an engine

• Heat that can be stored to be used at a later date

•   Random energy that escapes from the system

• A state of order in a physical system

Is this phase change representing an exothermic or endothermic reaction?

GAS to LIQUID

• Exothermic

• Endothermic

Is the phase change representing an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
