Chapter 5, Problem 1CT

Beginning physics students are often taught the basic concept of thermodynamic with two phrases: First, you can never win. Second, you can never break even. Explain.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following defines the first law of thermodynamics?   A. Energy cannot be created or destroyed   B. The capacity to do work   C. The energy stored in the arrangement of objects in a system   D. Energy tends to disperse spontaneously
The first and second laws of thermodynamics are useful for biochemists who investigate chemical reactions in living organisms. Explain why the third law is not useful.
Imagine you are working in a lab, and you are performing two chemical reactions. You notice that Reaction A occurs much faster than Reaction B, and that both reactions release the same amount of heat. Which of the following conclusions can be made from your observation? Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is more negative (i.e., a larger negative number) than the AG for Reaction B. Reaction A has a lower activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has a higher activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is less negative (i.e., a smaller negative number) than the AG for Reaction B.
