THERMODYNAMICS

name of the chapter: Thermodynamics

Content Provider: FIITJEE

Lecturer from FIITJEE

Introduction based on NCERT :

Chemical energy stored by molecules can be released as heat during chemical reactions when a fuel like methane, cooking gas, or coal burns in the air. The chemical energy may also be used to do mechanical work when a fuel burns in an engine or to provide electrical energy through a galvanic cell-like dry cell. Thus, various forms of energy are interrelated and under certain conditions, these may be transformed from one form into another. The study of these energy transformations forms the subject matter of thermodynamics. The laws of thermodynamics deal with energy changes of macroscopic systems involving a large number of molecules rather than microscopic systems containing a few molecules. Thermodynamics is not concerned about how and at what rate these energy transformations are carried out but is based on the initial and final states of a system undergoing the change. Laws of thermodynamics apply only when a system is in equilibrium or moves from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state. Macroscopic properties like pressure and temperature do not change with time for a system in an equilibrium state

Chemical Kinetics class 12

Chemical Kinetics name of the chapter: Chemical Kinetics Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE Introduction based on NCERT: Chemistry, by its very nature, is concerned with change. Substances with well-defined properties are converted by chemical reactions into other substances with different properties. For any chemical reaction, chemists try to find out (a) the feasibility of a chemical reaction which can be predicted by thermodynamics ( as you know that a reaction with ΔG < 0, at constant temperature and pressure is feasible); (b) the extent to which a reaction will proceed can be determined from chemical equilibrium; (c) speed of a reaction i.e. time taken by a reaction to reach equilibrium. Along with feasibility and extent, it is equally important to know the rate and the factors controlling the rate of a chemical reaction for its complete understanding. For example, which parameters determine how rapidly food gets spoiled? How to design a rapid...

Chemical bonding class 11 Inorganic notes

Chemical bonding name of the chapter: chemical bonding Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE Introduction based on NCERT books: The matter is made up of one or different types of elements. Under normal conditions, no other element exists as an independent atom in nature, except noble gases. However, a group of atoms is found to exist together as one species having characteristic properties. Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously, there must be some force that holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond. Since the formation of chemical compounds takes place as a result of the combination of atoms of various elements in different ways, it raises many questions. Why do atoms combine? Why are only certain combinations possible? Why do some atoms combine while certain o...

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds class 11

Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds name of the chapter: Purification Characterisation of Organic Compounds Content Provider: FIITJEE Lecturer from FIITJEE simple notes: Organic compounds extracted from a natural source or synthesized in the laboratory require purification. Various methods are used for purification and are based on the nature of the compound and the impurity present in it. The purity of a compound is ascertained by determining its melting point or boiling point or by chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. Fraction distillation can be defined as a process where the separation of a mixture takes place. A mixture of various components such as chemical components can be easily vaporized by heating them to a temperature more than their boiling point and forming different fractions. embedded pdf:
