Question

Thermodynamics mainly deals with:
A. interrelation of various forms of energy and their transformation from one form to another
B. energy changes in the processes which depends only on initial and final states of the microscopic system containing a few molecules
C. how and at what rate these energy transformations are carried out
D. the system in equilibrium state or moving from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::D
Thermodynamics deals with interrelation of various forms of energy and their transformation into each other. It also deals with thermal or mechanical equilibrium. However, it does not tell anything about the rate of reaction.
