Thermochemistry & Thermodynamics
Internal Energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles within a system.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsIrreversible Process
A real process that passes through non-equilibrium states and cannot be reversed without leaving a permanent change in the surroundings.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsIsobaric Process
A process carried out at constant pressure.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsIsochoric Process
A process carried out at constant volume, so that no expansion work is done.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsIsolated System
A system that exchanges neither energy nor matter with its surroundings.
Thermochemistry & ThermodynamicsIsothermal Process
A process carried out at constant temperature, with heat exchanged as needed to maintain it.
