A quantity that gives the direction of a thermodynamic process is?
specific heat
Is the heat supplied to a system always equal to the increase in its internal energywhat thermodynamic variable is defined by zeroth law and first law of thermodynamic?
No, the heat supplied to a system doesn't always equal the increase in its internal energy due to work done and changes in potential energy. The thermodynamic variable defined by the zeroth law is temperature, which establishes thermal equilibrium between systems. The first law defines internal energy, which is the sum of a system's kinetic and potential energy.
What branch of science does thermodynamic fall under?
Thermodynamics falls under the branch of physical science. It is the study of the relationship between heat, energy, and work.
Is Gibbs free energy constant?
In general Gibbs free energy is NOT constant. Gibbs free energy can be translated into chemical potential and differences in chemical potential are what drive changes - whether it be chemical reactions, phase changes, diffusion, osmosis, heat exchange or some other thermodynamic function.
Name 3 thermodynamic properties and give the relationship between them?
Three thermodynamic properties are internal energy (U), temperature (T), and entropy (S). The relationship between them is described by the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system, expressed as ΔU = Q - W. The Second Law of Thermodynamics quantifies the relationship between entropy, heat transfer, and temperature as dS = δQ/T, where dS is the change in entropy, δQ is heat transferred, and T is the temperature.
