Kinetic Theory
1. The internal energy of a gas is equal to the sum of both the translational and rotational energy of the gas molecules
2. There are two different forms of gases: monoatomic and diatomic
  1. Monoatomic gases consider movement in all directions
  2. Diatomic gases consider movement in all directions butnalso consider rotational movement
1st Law of Thermodynamics
1. The change in internal energy of a gas is equal to the heat contained within the gad minusnthe work done by the gas
  1. Energy is conserved in this process
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
1. Heat is always spontaeously flowing from a warm body to a colder one
2. Heat to a system depends on the path the gas molecules take
3. Internal energy of a system is not dependent on the path the gas molecules take
Properties of Work
1. Isobaric Process is a constant pressure process
2. Isothermic Process is a constant temperature process
3. Isochoric Process is a constant volume process
Pressure-Volume Diagrams
1. Important because they visually display the relationship between pressure, volume, and work
