1) True (T) or False (F): (2 pts)
- Thermodynamics tell us whether a reaction occurs and at what rate it will proceeds --------
- Assuming ideal behavior, and under isochoric conditions, the change in the internal energy of the system is equal to the heat gained by the system --------
- If a gas behaves ideally, its heat capacity at constant pressure is equal to that at constant volume --------
- In thermodynamics, a “state function” is a property of a system (or a function) that depends on the path through which the process occurred --------
