Study notes: definitions (PLEASE IGNORE)

1. system: part of the world in which we have special interest in
2. surrounding: comprise of the region outside of the system and where we make our measurements
3. open system: matter CAN be transferred between the boundaries of the system and sur.
4. closed sys: matter CANNOT be transeferred between the boundaries of the sys and surr.
(open and close system can transfer energy only)
5. isolated sys: CANNOT transfer both energy and matter between the boundaries..
6. work: work is done when an object moves against an opposing force
7. energy: the capacity to do work
8. diathermic: boundary that DOES permit energy transfer
9. adiabatic: boundary that DOES NOT permit energy transfer
10. exothermic: process that RELEASES energy
11. endothermic: process tt ABSORBS energy..
