We can measure the transfer of heat from one system to another which cause change in temperature. The magnitude of change in temperature depends upon heat capacity of the substance. In chemical thermodynamics, the type of work involved is mostly pressure-volume work that is the work done when a system (gas) expands or contracts against an external opposing pressure. Hence, work is also defined as the transfer of energy that can be used to change the height of a mass in the surroundings. Now answer the following:
