Question:

Which of the following is not a thermodynamic state function?

Internal energy

Work done

Enthalpy

Entropy

Solution:

A state function is a thermodynamic function that depends only on the initial and final states of a system, not on the path taken to reach the final state. Work done, on the other hand, is a path function. This means the amount of work done depends on the specific process or path followed, not just the initial and final states. Internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy are all state functions.
