Among the following the set of parameters that represents path functions, is:
(a)
(b) q
(c) w
(d) H - TS
  1. (A)(b) and (c)✓ Correct
  2. (B)(b), (c) and (d)
  3. (C)(a), (b) and (c)
  4. (D)(a) and (d)

Answer: (A)

Solution

A path function depends on how a change is carried out, not just on its endpoints, and heat and work are both like this. But their sum equals , the internal energy change, which is a state function, and is the Gibbs energy , again a state function. So the only path functions among these are and .
