Thermodynamics
Before studying thermodynamics, we should break down the name so that we better understand what will be studied. What comes to your head when you hear the word "thermo"? The word means anything related to heat. "Dynamic" indicates movement. Throughout this unit we will be looking at how heat moves through different systems. Heat can travel between a particular reaction we are studying (the system) out to the container the system is in, including the room. These areas are called the surroundings. Thermodynamics can be broken into several different categories. Looking at the drop down menu above, you can get a glimpse of what different topics we will cover.
