CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY

thermodynamics    →   termodinamika

Thermodynamics is the scientific study of the interconversion of heat and other forms of energy.

first law of thermo-dynamics    →   prvi zakon termodinamike

First law of thermo-dynamics is: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but can cross from one shape to another.

zero law of thermodynamics    →   nulti zakon termodinamike

Zero law of thermodynamics states: If some body A is in thermal equilibrium with body B and with body C, then bodies B and C are also in thermal equilibrium.

thermodynamic laws    →   termodinamički zakoni

Thermodynamic laws are the foundation of the science of thermodynamics:

First law: The internal energy of an isolated system is constant; if energy is supplied to the system in the form of heat dq and work dw, then the change in energy dU = dq + dw.

Second law: No process is possible in which the only result is the transfer of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion to work.

Third law: The entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero as the thermodynamic temperature approaches zero.
