This lecture introduces the basics of thermodynamics, focusing on the energy transformations within a system. It covers topics such as the origins of chemical elements, principles of chemical reactions, thermodynamic equilibrium, energy conservation, types of reactions, energy internal, functions of state, and heat exchange. The instructor explains the relationship between heat, work, and energy, the concept of energy internal, the first law of thermodynamics, and the functions of state. The lecture also delves into the definitions of different types of systems, the conservation of energy, and the calculation of energy changes in various transformations.
