Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Thermodynamics. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 1: choose the correct answer a thermodynamic state f....
Question 1

Choose the correct answer. A thermodynamic state function is a quantity
(i) used to determine heat changes
(ii) whose value is independent of path
(iii) used to determine pressure volume work
(iv) whose value depends on temperature only.

Answer

In thermodynamics, function of state, state quantity, or state variable is a property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the way in which the system acquired that state. A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system. A thermodynamic state function is a quantity whose value is independent of a path.

Functions like pVT etc. depend only on the state of a system and not on the path.

Hence, alternative (ii) is correct.
