JEE Advanced2009ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Among the following, the state function(s) is (are)
Options
- Ainternal energy
- Birreversible expansion work
- Creversible expansion work
- Dmolar enthalpy
Correct answer
A. internal energy
Step-by-step solution
State function are internal energy and molar enthalpy. Work is a path dependent function, however in reversible process the path is fixed i.e. between a given initial and final state there is just on reversible path and one work. Hence, reversible work is also a state function.
