What are the limitations of the first law of thermodynamics?
It is damned inconvenient.....
...in that it prevents us from receiving something in exchange for nothing.
It doesn't say that heat DOES not flow from a cold sink to a hot sink, so it doesn't specify the direction of the heat's flow.
Therefore, it leaves us in the dark regarding the spontaneity of chemical change (the third law of thermodynamics deals with this).

The first law of thermodynamics does not provide information about the direction of a process. It does not account for the irreversibility of certain natural processes. Additionally, it does not explain the mechanisms behind energy conversion.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
