Single Choice

Choose the correct answer. A thermodynamic state function is a quantity :

Aused to determine heat chages
Bwhose value is independent of path
Correct Answer
Cused to determine pressure volume work
Dwhose value depends on temperature only

Solution

A thermodynamic state function is a quantity whose value is independent of path. Thus, enthalpy is a state function.
Its value depends on iniital and final states and is independatn of path followed.
