About Thermodynamics & Thermochemistry (JEE Main, Class11th)
What is Thermodynamics & Thermochemistry ?
Thermodynamics is a discipline of science that studies energy and how it transforms in systems. It is concerned with comprehending the links between heat, work, and energy. Thermodynamics provides a framework for studying and forecasting system behavior, such as equilibrium states, temperature, pressure, and energy transfer.
Thermochemistry is a subfield of thermodynamics that studies the heat changes caused by chemical reactions. It entails comprehending the relationship between chemical reactions and the resulting energy changes.
