1st law of thermodynamics

a)

The total energy of the universe must be constant

Energy may be:

converted from one form to another

Used to do work

Moved within a system or between system and surroundings

But it cannot be destroyed or created in any ordinary chemical process

b)

Systems tend to proceed from ordered (low entropy or low-probability) states to disordered (high-entropy or high-probability) states

The entropy of the system plus surroundings is unchanged by reversible processes

The entropy of the system increases for irreversible processes

All naturally occurring processes proceed toward equilibrium – that is, to a state of minimum potential energy

Energy flows spontaneously so as to become diffused or dispersed or spread out

c)

The entropy of any crystalline, perfectly ordered substance must approach zero as the temperature approaches 0 K

At T = 0 K, entropy is exactly zero

32.
