Question
Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics terms
Choose the correct answer. A thermodynamic state function is a quantity
A
used to determine heat changes
B
whose value is independent of path
C
used to determine pressure volume work
D
whose value depends on temperature only
Answer
whose value is independent of path
Explanation
Solution
A thermodynamic state function is a quantity whose value is independent of a path. Functions like p, V, T etc. depend only on the state of a system and not on the path.
Hence, the correct option is (B): whose value is independent of path.
