6. Read the following text about thermodynamics and unscramble the letters in the brackets to find the correct word. Translate the text.
Thermodynamics
is the study of the relationship between h______(tahe)
and work. In other words, thermodynamics looks at how we can put
e__________(renyge)
into a system (whether it is a machine or a molecule) and make it do
work. Alternatively, we might be able to do some work on a system and
make it produce energy (like spinning the t
urbines
in a power station to produce e____________(trielectyci)).
In c___________(micehryts), we sometimes speak more broadly about "energetics" of reactions (rather than thermodynamics), because energy given off during a r_________(tirecano) may simply be lost to the surroundings without doing useful work. Nevertheless, the ideas are the same: energy can be added to a set of molecules in order to produce a reaction, or a reaction can occur between a set of molecules in order to r________(esreale) energy.
