"Describe the basic concepts of thermodynamics."	"Basic concepts of thermodynamics involve the study of energy, energy transformations, and their relation to matter, essential for understanding topics in thermodynamics."
"What is the first law of thermodynamics?"	"The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can change from one form another during an interaction, but the total amount of energy remains constant."
"Describe the difference between an isolated system and a rigid system."	"An isolated system does not communicate with the surroundings by any means, while a rigid system communicates with the surroundings by heat only."
"Define an adiabatic system in the context of thermodynamics."	"An adiabatic system is a closed or open system that does not exchange energy with the surroundings by heat."
"How is a closed system defined in thermodynamics?"	"A closed system is a system where mass cannot cross the boundaries, but energy can."
"Do both mass and energy cross the boundaries in a control volume system?"	"Yes, in a control volume system, both mass and energy can cross the boundaries."
"Describe macroscopic forms of energy in the context of thermodynamics."	"Macroscopic forms of energy are forms of energy that a system possesses as a whole with respect to some outside reference frame, such as kinetic and potential energy."
"Explain the concept of kinetic energy in thermodynamics."	"Kinetic energy is the energy that a system possesses as a result of its relative motion relative to some reference frame, expressed as KE = 0.5mv^2."
"Define potential energy in the context of thermodynamics."	"Potential energy is the energy that a system possesses as a result of its elevation in a gravitational field, expressed as PE = mgh."
"What are microscopic forms of energy in thermodynamics related to?"	"Microscopic forms of energy in thermodynamics are related to the molecular structure of a system."
"Describe internal energy in a system."	"Internal energy in a system is the sum of microscopic energy, independent of outside reference frames, and consists of kinetic, potential, and internal energies."
"Define latent heat in the context of internal energy."	"Latent heat is the internal energy associated with the phase of a system, with intermolecular forces strongest in solids and weakest in gases."
"How is chemical or bond energy related to internal energy?"	"Chemical or bond energy is the internal energy associated with the atomic bonds in a molecule, while atomic energy refers to the energy associated with bonds within the nucleus of an atom."
"Do intensive properties vary with the size of a system?"	"Intensive properties, such as temperature, pressure, and density, do not depend on the size (mass) of a system and are independent of it."
"Describe extensive properties in thermodynamics."	"Extensive properties, like mass, volume, and total energy U, depend on the size of the system and are additive."
"How are kinetic energy of molecules and sensible energy related?"	"The sum of translational, vibrational, and rotational energies of molecules constitutes the kinetic energy of molecules, also known as sensible energy, which increases with higher temperatures."
"Describe the difference between extensive and intensive properties in a system."	"Extensive properties depend on the size or extent of the system, while intensive properties are independent of the system size."
"Define specific properties in the context of thermodynamics."	"Specific properties are extensive properties per unit mass, such as specific volume (v=V/m)."
"How is a system's state defined in thermodynamics?"	"At a given state, all properties of a system have fixed values. Any change in a property leads to a change in state."
"What is meant by thermal equilibrium in a system?"	"Thermal equilibrium occurs when the temperature is the same throughout the entire system."
"Do all properties of a system have fixed values in an equilibrium state?"	"Yes, in an equilibrium state, all properties have fixed values and there are no unbalanced potentials within the system."
