General Chemistry | System, Surroundings, & Energy Transfer

The video tutorial introduces thermodynamics by defining systems and surroundings, and explains energy transfer through work and heat. It discusses how total energy is calculated as the sum of heat and work, and provides an example problem to illustrate these concepts.

How is the total energy of a system represented in thermodynamics?

What does it mean when work is done on the system?

In what scenario would the heat value be considered negative?

How do you calculate the internal energy of a system based on work and heat?
