MCAT Basics Podcast

Thermodynamics

This podcast covers thermodynamics. First, I discuss the four laws of thermodynamics, as well as their application on the MCAT. Then, I break down enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy (briefly). Lastly, I cover the three types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.

CORRECTION:

First Law of Thermodynamics is U =Q – W, I said ‘U = Q + W’. For U = Q – W, W (work) is definied as work done BY the system on its surroundings.
