1.1 Importance of Thermodynamics
  • Most of the important laws of physical chemistry can be deduced from the laws of thermodynamics, such as Van't Hoff law of dilute solutions. Distribution law, Raoult's law of chemical equilibrium, phase rule and Laws of thermodynamics.

  • The study of thermodynamics is helpful in laying down the criteria for predicting the spontaneity or feasibility of a process i.e it helps to predict whether a given process is spontaneous under given conditions of temperature, concentration and pressure.

  • Thermodynamics also helps to determine the extent to which a process can go before the state of equilibrium is attained.
