A system in thermodynamics refers to that part of universe in which observations are
made and remaining universe constitutes the surroundings. The wall that separates the
system from the surroundings is called boundary.
The State of the System must be described in order to make any useful calculations by
specifying quantitatively each of the properties such as its pressure (p), volume (V), and
temperature (T) as well as the composition of the system. In thermodynamics, the state of
a system is introduced.The state of a thermodynamic system is described by its
measurable or macroscopic (bulk) properties. We can describe the state of a gas by
quoting its pressure (p), volume (V), temperature (T), amount (n) etc. Variables like p, V,
T are called state variables or state functions because their values depend only on the state
of the system and not on how it is reached.
By conventions of IUPAC in chemical thermodynamics. The q is positive, when heat is
transferred from the surroundings to the system and the internal energy of the system
increases and q is negative when heat is transferred from system to the surroundings
resulting in decrease of the internal energy of the system.
Let us consider the general case in which a change of state is brought about both by doing
work and by transfer of heat. We write change in internal energy for this case as: ∆U = q
+ w The equation i.e., ∆U = q + w is mathematical statement of the first law of
thermodynamics, which states that the energy of an isolated system is constant. It is
commonly stated as the law of conservation of energy .
Q.1. State first law of thermodynamics and write its mathematical form. 1
Q.2. What are extensive and intensive properties ? Explain with examples. 2
Q.3.What are state functions ? Give examples. 1

After having some idea about the terms atoms and molecules, One atomic mass unit is
defined as a mass exactly equal to one-twelfth of the mass of one carbon – 12 atom.
Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of the elements present in a molecule. The
mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.022
× 1023 elementary entities. This number is the fixed numerical value of the Avogadro
constant, NA , when expressed in the unit mol –1 and is called the Avogadro number. The
mass of a carbon–12 atom was determined by a mass spectrometer and found to be equal
to 1.992648 × 10–23 g. Knowing that one mole of carbon weighs 12 g, the number of atoms
 in it is equal to 12g/moiC-12 / 1.992648×10 23 g / C- 12 atom. = 6.0221367 × 1023
atoms/mol.
The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its molar mass. The molar mass in
grams is numerically equal to atomic molecular/formula mass in u.
An empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present
in a compound, whereas, the molecular formula shows the exact number of different types
of atoms present in a molecule of a compound. Many a time, reactions are carried out
with the amounts of reactants that are different than the amounts as required by a balanced
chemical reaction.
1) One atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as a mass exactly equal to one-twelfth of the
mass of one ……atom.
(a) Hydrogen -1 (b) Carbon -12
(c) Oxygen -12 (d) Chlorine -35
2) The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its.
(a) Atomic mass (b) Molecular Weight

(a) CHO (b) C2HO2
