Understanding Isothermic Processes in Thermodynamics

Isothermic means "constant heat" or "no change in temperature". In thermodynamics, an isothermic process is a process in which the temperature remains constant. This means that the heat added to the system is absorbed without any increase in temperature, and the work done on the system is done at a constant temperature.

In other words, an isothermic process is a process in which the system and its surroundings are in thermal equilibrium throughout the process. The temperature of the system remains constant, and there is no change in the entropy of the system.

Isothermic processes are often used in chemical reactions, where the reaction occurs at a constant temperature. For example, a chemical reaction that occurs at room temperature (25°C) is an isothermic process, as the temperature of the reactants and products remains constant throughout the reaction.
