1. Which law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or changed from one form to another?
Zeroth Law
First Law
Second Law
Third Law
2. What is the term for the measure of disorder or randomness in a system?
Enthalpy
Gibbs Free Energy
Entropy
Heat Capacity
3. The transfer of thermal energy between objects of different temperatures is called .
4. A process that occurs without the addition or removal of heat from the system is known as an process.
5. According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the total entropy of an isolated system can only decrease over time.
True
False
6. Heat can spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body.
True
False
7. Briefly explain the difference between an open system, a closed system, and an isolated system in thermodynamics.
8. Describe the concept of thermal equilibrium and how it relates to the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.
9. Analyze the diagram below, which illustrates the relationship between energy and entropy. Describe how these two concepts are related in the context of thermodynamic processes.
