  1. A Path functions
  2. B Intensive thermodynamic state variables
  3. C Extensive thermodynamic state variables
  4. D Point functions
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Path functions

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
