Question: 41

11. Which of the following is NOT a state function?

  • A. Internal energy
  • B. Heat
  • C. Temperature
  • D. Entropy

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

State functions are any which are independent of path taken to achieve a given state and which are not themselves defined as a process, such as pressure, density, temperature, volume, enthalpy, internal energy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy. Heat and work are process functions that are pathway-dependent.
