U5_Unpacking_Thermodynamics__The_Laws_of_Energy,_Spontaneity,_and_Equilibrium

This podcast provides an in-depth introduction to the principles of thermodynamics, beginning with fundamental concepts like energy transformation and the first law of thermodynamics. It meticulously defines thermodynamic terms such as system, surroundings, internal energy, heat, and work, explaining their interrelationships and how they contribute to energy changes in chemical and physical processes. The text further explores various types of enthalpy changes associated with reactions, phase transformations, and bond formations, demonstrating their calculation through Hess's Law and calorimetry. Finally, it introduces the crucial concepts of entropy and Gibbs energy, establishing them as criteria for predicting the spontaneity of reactions and their connection to equilibrium constants, thereby laying a comprehensive foundation for understanding chemical thermodynamics.
