isometric vs isothermal

[705596384]

What is the main difference between isometric vs isothermal and how do they impact a chemical reaction?

Isothermal: zero temperature change
Isometric: volume doesn't change so no work is done

[Zoe Staggs 3B]

An isothermal process has a constant temperature while an isometric process has constant volume. When no expansion is done, no work is done, so w=0

[erud]

isometric volume will not change, while isothermal's temperature will not change.

[azurexrose]

An isothermal process means that temperature is constant throughout while an isometric process means that volume does not change, meaning work is 0.

[Richie Ngoy]

Isothermal refers to the zero temperature change. Isometric refers to the volume that doesn't change so no work is done.

[Jimena_Zarate]

Isothermal is where there is zero temperature change while in Isometric the volume doesn't change so no work is done.

[emmavandal1K]

Isometric means that there is no change in volume, while isothermal means there is no change in temperature. With this knowledge we are able to use specific equations unique to these situations in order to calculate the change in other state properties of these systems.

[Harun Momin 1L]

Hello,

Isothermal indicates that there is no change in temperature. Isometric means that there is no change in volume. Knowing whether a process is isothermal or isometric can help with calculating the change in internal energy. For example, work is defined to be -(pressure)*(change in volume). If the reaction is isometric, the work done is 0. This makes the change in internal energy only dependent on the heat transfer.

Hope that helped!

Isometric means that the volume has no change (therefore no work is done) whereas isothermal accounts for changes in a system without a temperature change. Knowing both of these can help with determining change of internal energy of the system.

[Thomas_Lehman_2D]

Isometric means there is no change in volume whereas, isothermal means there is not a change in temperature. This impacts chemical equations as it allows you to know what is constant in a chemical reaction.

[Matthew Do 2G]

Isometric reactions are reactions in which the volume of the system does not change. With the reaction not exerting expansion out from the system, there would be zero work done, which means w= 0.
Isothermal reactions are reactions in which the temperature of the system does not change and is constant. I hope this helps.

[Jason T 1I]

Isometric is when the volume of a system does not change, as a result no work is performed. While isothermal indicates a system's temperature does not change.

[Jarod Miller 2E]

The main difference between isometric and isothermal is that isothermal has a constant temperature meaning that there is no change while isometric process doesn’t have the volume change meaning that no work is done.

[Louie_Reichmuth_2K]

Isometric means that there is no change in the volume of the system; isothermal means that there is no change in the temperature of the system. When there is no change in volume, there is no work done. Also both of these terms are related to and contribute to how you solve for the internal energy of a system.

[Shiraz Becker 2A]

Isothermal processes have constant temperatures (zero temperature change), while isometric processes have no change in volume. When there is no volume change, no work is done, so w=0.

[405750027]

Isometric means constant volume which means no work is done (w=0) while isothermal constant temperature.

[Tony Wu 2D]

Isometric means the system has a constant volume which means no work. Isothermal means system's temperature stay the same.

[Julia_Wong_1H]

isometric refers to a process in which the volume of a system remains constant, while isothermal refers to a process in which the temperature of a system remains constant.
