Work
Since work is the opposing force x distance moved what can it affect? What is work not applicable to?

Re: Work
I'm not sure if I'm answering your question entirely but work is energy leaving or entering a system. Because of this, work done can affect the amount of available energy in a system.

Re: Work
Work is applicable to everything, but not everything in this course requires you to calculate it. A good majority of thermochemistry will revolve around enthalpy, change in enthalpy, and other concepts of energy change. You won't need to calculate work with the formula force times distance.
