Which of the Following Thermodynamic Properties is a State Function

Question

Which of the following thermodynamic properties is a state function?
A) Work
B) Heat
C) Enthalpy
D) Entropy
E) Both C and D are correct

Accepted Answer

Enthalpy and entropy are state functions, meaning their values depend only on the state of the system and not on the path taken to reach that state. Work and heat, on the other hand, are path-dependent quantities and thus are not state functions.
