Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:

• define system, surroundings and universe for simple thermodynamic processes
• explain the difference between heat and temperature
• use the First Law of Thermodynamics to calculate the change in internal energy accompanying heating and expanding an ideal gas
• relate temperature and heat change using specific and molar heat capacities
• calculate internal energy changes using the bomb calorimeter

• Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.4 (in Blackman, Bottle, Schmid, Mocerino and Wille, Chemistry, 3^rd Edition, 2015 (John Wiley) )
