Bhai ek problem hai. Chemistry teacher ne bataya ΔU = q + w. Physics wale sir ne bola Q = ΔU + W, matlab ΔU = Q − W. Dono ek hi cheez hai ya mere dimaag ka bug hai? Aur ye bhi nahi samajh aa raha ki gas expand karti hai
Sign slips in thermodynamics are rarely about not knowing the concept. Here is how to pick a viewpoint, stick to it, and catch the clash between Physics and Chemistry.
Third attempt, and I still catch myself writing the wrong symbol in thermodynamics. Time to fix it at root. NCERT says that at equilibrium \Delta G = 0 . It also gives \Delta G^\circ = -RT\ln K . If \Delta G is zero at e
Same first law, different sign conventions, different kinds of questions. Where do the Physics and Chemistry versions overlap, and where do they split?
I have been revising Thermodynamics, and the Zeroth law of thermodynamics looks too obvious to be called a law. NCERT states it as: two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system separately are in thermal equilib
Amma says I study best at 5 am with filter coffee, so here I am with thermodynamics, and the very first page of it is eating me. NCERT says internal energy U is a state function while heat q and work w are not. I can rep
