Which thermodynamic parameter is not a state function?
Which thermodynamic parameter is not a state function?
Options
- A at constant pressure
- B at constant volume
- C at adiabatic
- D at isothermal
Correct answer
D. at isothermal
Step-by-step solution
and are state functions but and are not state functions.
From the equation,
At constant pressure,
At constant volume,
At constant pressure,
so, it is a state function.
At constant volume, so, it is a state function.
Work done in any adiabatic process is state function.
Work done in isothermal process is not a state function.
