NEET2008ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
Which of the following are not state functions? (I) q+W (II) q (III) W (IV) H-T S
Options
- A(I) and (IV)
- B(II), (III) and (IV)
- C(I,) (II) and (III)
- D(II) and (III)
Correct answer
D. (II) and (III)
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : State function is the property of the system whose value depends only on the initial and final state of the system and is independent of the path. Internal energy ( E)=q+W It is a state function because it is independent of the path. It is an extensive property. Gibbs energy (G)=H-T S It is also a state function because it is independent of the path. It is also an extensive property. Heat (q) and work (W) are not state functions being path dependent.
