This chapter explains that thermodynamics is the study of the transfer of energy during chemical and physical processes. It provides an overview of the First Law and Second Law of Thermodynamics. All chemical reactions bring about a conversion of energy. The chapter notes that enthalpy is a state function defined as the heat energy absorbed by a system at fixed pressure. It also introduces Hess's Law, which is used to calculate enthalpy changes. It looks at Gibbs energy and shows how this relates to the notions of enthalpy and entropy, before highlighting that the equilibrium constant for a reaction depends on temperature.
