Question

A system is changed from an initial state to a final state by a manner such that ∆H = Q. If the change from initial state to final state was made by a different path, then ____________.

Options

• ∆H and Q will be the same as the first path

• ∆H will be the same but not Q, of the first path

• Q will be the same but not ∆H, of the first path

• both ∆H and Q will be different from first path

Answer 1

A system is changed from an initial state to a final state by a manner such that ∆H = Q. If the change from initial state to final state was made by a different path, then ∆H will be the same but not Q, of the first path.

Explanation:

Heat absorbed, i.e., Q is a route dependent function and ∆H is independent of the path because it depends solely on the beginning and final states of the system.
