Lesson 1075 of 1524

Thermodynamics

The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two systems, A and B, are in thermal equilibrium with each other, and B is in thermal equilibrium with a third system, C, then A is also in thermal equilibrium with C

Practice this chapter

The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two systems, A and B, are in thermal equilibrium with each other, and B is in thermal equilibrium with a third system, C, then A is also in thermal equilibrium with C The ideal gas law relates the pressure and volume of a gas to the number of gas particles (atoms or molecules) and the absolute temperature of the gas

Systems are in thermal equilibrium when they have the same temperature Thermal equilibrium occurs when two bodies are in contact with each other and can freely exchange energy

thermal equilibrium — condition in which heat no longer transfers energy between two objects that are in contact; the two objects have the same temperature. zeroth law of thermodynamics — states that if two objects are in thermal equilibrium, and a third object is in thermal equilibrium with one of those objects, it is also in thermal equilibrium with the other…. ideal gas law — physical law that relates the pressure and volume of a gas to the number of gas molecules or atoms, or number of moles of gas, and the absolute temperature of the gas. pressure — force per unit area perpendicular to the force, over which the force acts.

Worked example

What does “thermal equilibrium” mean in Thermodynamics?

  1. 1Use the wording this chapter gives for thermal equilibrium.
  2. 2The book says: condition in which heat no longer transfers energy between two objects that are in contact; the two objects have the same temperature.
  3. 3Do not use the meaning of zeroth law of thermodynamics. That term means states that if two objects are in thermal equilibrium, and a third object is in thermal equilibrium with one of those objects, it is also in thermal equilibrium with the other….

Result: condition in which heat no longer transfers energy between two objects that are in contact; the two objects have the same temperature

Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for thermal equilibrium.

Do not swap thermal equilibrium and zeroth law of thermodynamics. thermal equilibrium means condition in which heat no longer transfers energy between two objects that are in contact; the two objects have the same temperature. zeroth law of thermodynamics means states that if two objects are in thermal equilibrium, and a third object is in thermal equilibrium with one of those objects, it is also in thermal equilibrium with the other….
