What do the first two laws of thermodynamics state?
Law 1: Energy (in this case, heat) is neither created nor destroyed in any thermodynamic system. Law 2: The total amount of disorder (also known as entropy) of a system, and its surroundings will never decrease.
Thermodynamics is the study of energy transfers, which involve work and heat. This includes the resulting changes in thermal energy, temperature, volume, and pressure.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics: The total amount of disorder (also known as entropy) of a system, and its surroundings will never decrease. This law also relates to ideas such as heat always flowing from a higher temperature to a lower temperature and never the opposite, heat engines never being able to operate at 100% efficiency, or it being impossible to convert heat completely into work".

- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
- The total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time; it can only remain constant or increase.

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.

- A star is five times as luminous as the Sun and has a surface temperature of 98,000 K. What is its radius, compared to that of the Sun?
- A #3 L# container holds #9 # mol and #12 # mol of gasses A and B, respectively. Groups of three of molecules of gas B bind to two molecules of gas A and the reaction changes the temperature from #160# #K# to #360# #K#. How much does the pressure change?
- A #3 L# container holds #30 # mol and #15 # mol of gasses A and B, respectively. Groups of three of molecules of gas B bind to five molecules of gas A and the reaction changes the temperature from #320^oK# to #480^oK#. How much does the pressure change?
- The temperature of a block of iron, which has a specific heat of 450 j/(kg k), increases by 3 k when 2700 j of energy are added to it. what is the mass of this block of iron?
- A #5 L# container holds #5 # mol and #10 # mol of gasses A and B, respectively. Every five of molecules of gas B bind to two molecule of gas A and the reaction changes the temperature from #320^oK# to #450 ^oK#. By how much does the pressure change?
