What type of refrigeration process uses heat energy?

What is a device that absorbs heat from a hot reservoir, does work, and releases leftover heat to a cold reservoir?

What is the fundamental principle in physics stating that energy tends to spread out and that natural processes move toward increased disorder or randomness?

What is a measure of the randomness or disorder of a system, which increases in all spontaneous processes?

What principle states that heat cannot move on its own from a colder object to a hotter one without external work?

Identify the two major causes of deviation from ideal gas behavior.

What is identified as having a distinct molecular arrangement that is homogenous throughout and separated from the others by easily identifiable boundary surface?

What is used as a graphical representation of a phase change for a pure substance to help visualize processes like vaporization, condensation, melting, and sublimation, while also identifying critical points, triple points, and phase boundaries?

What state is described when molecules are no longer at fixed positions relative to each other and they can rotate and translate freely?

What state is described when molecules move about at random, continually colliding with each other and the walls of the container they are in?

What is the term for water that is not about to vaporize?

What diagram is often referred to as the phase diagram, showing lines representing sublimation, melting, and vaporization?

What property diagram is very similar to the T-v diagram except instead of there being a constant pressure the temperature is constant?

What is vapor that is about to condense called?
