Any reaction which is a part of study, also called as thermodynamic system, is described by the state in which the reactants and products are present. We always mention the state of the reactants, the temperature and pressure at which they are reacting at. These parameters are not dependent on how they are achieved, i.e independent of the path they followed. Thus Temperature (T), Pressure (P) are called as State functions. The Internal energy (E) and Enthalpy (H) of the system are calculated from the difference between their final and initial values. They do not depend on the path they followed to achieve those values. Hence Enthalpy as well as Energy are State functions.
Path functions are dependent on the flow or process through which they are achieved.
Heat (q) is generated or absorbed depending on the path a reaction takes. If it is an exothermic reaction, heat is liberated, whereas if the reaction is endothermic heat is absorbed by the system. Thus, heat (q) depends on the path followed or the process of the reaction.
Hence, Heat (q) is not a STATE FUNCTION. It is a path function.

Why is the heat evolved or absorbed during the reaction associated with enthalpy (H) rather than free energy (G) or internal energy (U)?
Which of these is not a state function? A) energy B) pressure C) volume D) heat E) temperature
1a) Heat transfer is not a state function and as such it is path dependent. Consider the solid "S" which undergoes sublimation by the process S(s) →S(g). This process may proceed in two ways. In one case, S sublimes in a container open to atmospheric pressure (constant pressure). In the other case it sublimes in a stoppered flask (constant volume). Which situation will result in the greater energy transfer in the form of heat? Please explain your answer. 1b) Calculate...
a. Given that the energy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only, show how the conclusion can be reached that the enthalpy of an ideal gas is also only a function of temperature. b. Show that for an ideal gas Cp-Cv=R Hint: How much more heat is required to raise the temperature of the gas by 1K if the process is carried out at constant pressure rather than constant volume? Explain.
1. (20 points) Consider a cogeneration system operating at steady state. Superheated steam enters the first turbine stage at 6 MPa, 540 °C. Between the first and second stages, 45% of the steam is extracted at 500 kPa and diverted to a process heating load of 5 x 108 kl/h. Condensate exits the process heat exchanger at 450 kPa with specific enthalpy of 589.13 kl/kg and is mixed with liquid exiting the lower pressure pump at 450 kPa. The entire...
