This lecture covers: Minimum work of partitioning small systems. Review of equilibrium properties of pure substances. Gibbs phase rule. Clausius-Clapeyron relation. Representation on p-T, u-v-s, h-s, p-v diagrams. The van der Waals model of metastable liquid and vapor states.

Instructor suggests to set viewing speed at 1.5 for faster learning.
