“Thermodynamics”
The heat capacity of a substance indicates the ease with which a substance heats up. A
good thermal conductor would have a low heat capacity, indicating that a small amount
of energy causes a large temperature change. A good thermal insulator would have a
large heat capacity, indicating that much energy transfer is needed for a temperature
change.
P1V1 = P2V2
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Ideal Gas Law:
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 = nR
By "closed system" it means that every part of the process is included when calculating
the entropy of the system.
