Which thermodynamic parameter is not a state function?

Which thermodynamic parameter is not a state function?

Options

  1. Aqq at constant pressure
  2. Bqq at constant volume
  3. CWW at adiabatic
  4. DWW at isothermal

Correct answer

D. WW at isothermal

Step-by-step solution

HH and UU are state functions but WW and qq are not state functions. From the equation, ΔH=ΔU+ΔPV\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta P V At constant pressure, ΔH=ΔU+PΔV\Delta H=\Delta U+P \Delta V At constant volume, ΔH=ΔU+VΔP\Delta H=\Delta U+V \Delta P At constant pressure, ΔP=0,ΔH=qp\Delta P=0, \Delta H=q_p so, it is a state function. At constant volume, ΔV=0,ΔU=qv\Delta V=0, \Delta U=q_v so, it is a state function. Work done in any adiabatic process is state function. ΔU=q−W(∵q=0)\Delta U=q-W \quad(\because q=0) ΔU=−W\Delta U=-W Work done in isothermal process is not a state function. W=−q(∵ΔT=0,q≠0)W=-q \quad(\because \Delta T=0, q \neq 0)
