In thermodynamics, heat and work are
- ✓Path functions
- BIntensive thermodynamic state variables
- CExtensive thermodynamic state variables
- DPoint functions
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Path functions
a
Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics.
Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics.
$\Delta Q =\Delta U +\Delta W$
Since work done by gas depends on type of
process i.e. path and $\Delta U$ depends just on initial
and final states, so $\Delta Q$ i.e. heat, also has to
depend on process is path.
