Thermodynamics is the beginning of the quantitative evaluation of why things happen.
To begin this journey, answer this question: Which of the following happens when you put an ice cube in a cup of coffee?
Thermodynamics helps us answer this question. More importantly, we'll be able to assign numbers to the amount of heat that is transferred when ice is placed into a cup of coffee. With that knowledge, we can begin to answer much larger questions.
In case you're curious, the coffee transfers heat to the ice. Begin the module to find out why.
