Importance Of Thermodynamics

a.) It predicts the maximum efficiency of various types of heat engines and maximum work obtained from a given fuel i.e in the problems of combustion and power.
b.) It determines the feasibility of a process ( chemical or physical )
c.) It helps to predict the extent of a chemical reaction before the attainment of equilibrium
d.) Laws of thermodynamics gives important deductions
i) Raoults law of lowering of vapour pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point.
ii) Nerst Distribution law
iii) Phase rule
iv) Law of chemical equilibrium
