Which of the following statement(s) is (or are) true? I. Heat (g) is a state function because AH is a state function and q D ΔΗ 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 (Csp H20 = 4.184 J/g °C; Csp Aluminum = 0.89 J/g %3D %3D °C) III. When a gas is compressed (AV 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) + 5 - 2N205 (g), the change in --> enthalpy is the same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in a series of steps o II, III and IV OI, II, and IV Il and III
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
![**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.

### 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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F60d4524b-4cde-480b-9605-9d3c77032394%2Fb6d6e455-7f0c-4fb5-a19a-67d3007b35ee%2Fcivi9gs_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
