Abstract for Lecture #20 - (a) Heat Capacities, Enthalpy and Calorimetry (b) First Law Applied to Ideal Gas Processes


Heat capacity is defined. Constant pressure and constant volume calorimeters are shown. The concept of Enthalpy is discussed.

The first law is applied to processes involving operations on ideal gases.

To prepare for this lecture, we suggest that you read sections 7-3 and 7-4 of Oxtoby.
