This study guide covers the First Law of Thermodynamics, focusing on energy conservation. It explains internal energy, thermodynamic processes (isovolumetric, isothermal, isobaric, adiabatic), and how to use PV diagrams. The guide also includes practice questions and emphasizes the first law equation (ΔU = Q + W), ideal gas law, and sign conventions for work and heat.
