Question
Chapter 10, Problem 3A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The meaning of the term “state function” needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: A state function is independent of the path followed. It depends on the factors like temperature, pressure etc.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 3A
A function that does not depend on the path followed is called a state function.
Explanation of Solution
A function that does not depend on the path followed is called a state function. It depends on factors such as temperature, pressure and quantity of the substance present.
Examples of state function are energy, density, enthalpy, entropy etc.
Conclusion
A state function that does not depend on the path followed such as enthalpy and entropy.
