**Question:**

Which of the following statement(s) is (or are) true?

I. Heat (q) is a state function because ΔH is a state function and q = ΔH

II. When 50.0 grams of aluminum at 25.0 °C is placed in 50.0 mL of water at 30.0 °C, the water will undergo a smaller temperature change than the aluminum (C_sp H₂O = 4.184 J/g°C; C_sp Aluminum = 0.89 J/g°C)

III. When a gas is compressed (ΔV is negative), the work of the gas is negative since the surroundings is doing work on the system and energy flows out of the system.

IV. For the reaction 2N₂ (g) + 5O₂ --> 2N₂O₅ (g), the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps.

**Options:**
- ○ II, III and IV
- ○ I, II, and IV
- ○ II and III

### Educational Content: Thermodynamics Concepts

#### Statements on Thermodynamic Principles

**I.** Heat (q) is a state function because ΔH is a state function and q = ΔH.

**II.** When 50.0 grams of aluminum at 25.0 °C is placed in 50.0 mL of water at 30.0 °C, the water will undergo a smaller temperature change than the aluminum.  
   - Specific heat capacity of water (C<sub>sp</sub> H<sub>2</sub>O) = 4.184 J/g°C
   - Specific heat capacity of aluminum (C<sub>sp</sub> Aluminum) = 0.89 J/g°C

**III.** When a gas is compressed (ΔV is negative), the work of the gas is negative since the surroundings are doing work on the system and energy flows out of the system.

**IV.** For the reaction 2N<sub>2</sub> (g) + 5O<sub>2</sub> → 2N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (g), the change in enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps.

#### Multiple Choice Option
- II, III, and IV
- I, II, and IV
- II and III
- II and IV
- All of these are correct

### Explanation

This content refers to basic principles of thermodynamics, focusing on the concepts of heat as a state function, specific heat capacity, work done by/on gases, and enthalpy changes in chemical reactions. Each statement provides an insight into different aspects of these principles.

For understanding, one should be familiar with:
- State functions and their significance in thermodynamics.
- Specific heat capacity and its implications in heat transfer between substances.
- Work done during gas compression or expansion and its relation to energy flow.
- Enthalpy and its invariance in path-dependent or path-independent processes.
