Why do we need to study Chemical Thermodynamics? Chemical thermodynamics is the study of the interrelation of heat and work with chemical reactions or with physical changes of state within the confines of the laws of thermodynamics. The structure of chemical thermodynamics is based on the first two laws of thermodynamics. Starting from the first and second laws of thermodynamics, four equations called the "fundamental equations of Gibbs" can be derived. Thermodynamics tells chemists whether a particular reaction is energetically possible in the direction in which it is written, and it gives the composition of the reaction system at equilibrium. Thermodynamics can be defined as the study of energy, energy transformations, and their relation to the matter. It simply states that during an interaction, energy can change from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant. Thermodynamics is a very important branch of both physics and chemistry. It deals with the study of energy, the conversion of energy between different forms, and the ability of energy to do work.
