Question
Thermodynamics mainly deals with:
(i) interrelation of various forms of energy and their transformation from one form to another.
(ii) energy changes in the processes which depend only on initial and final states of the microscopic systems containing a few molecules.
(iii) how and at what rate these energy transformations are carried out.
(iv) the system in equilibrium state or moving from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state.
Solution
(i) interrelation of various forms of energy and their transformation from one form to another.
(iv) the system in equilibrium state or moving from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state.
Explanation:
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. Laws of thermodynamics apply only when a system is in equilibrium or moves from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state.
