Capitolo 19, Problema 85a

(a) Which of the thermodynamic quantities T, E, q, w, and S are state functions? (b) Which depend on the path taken from one state to another?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the definition of a state function: A state function is a property whose value does not depend on the path taken to reach that specific value. It depends only on the current state of the system.
List the given thermodynamic quantities: T (temperature), E (internal energy), q (heat), w (work), and S (entropy).
Determine which of these quantities are state functions: Temperature (T), internal energy (E), and entropy (S) are state functions because they depend only on the state of the system, not on how the system got to that state.
Identify which quantities depend on the path taken: Heat (q) and work (w) are not state functions because they depend on the specific path taken during a process.
Summarize: State functions (T, E, S) are independent of the path, while path functions (q, w) depend on the path taken between two states.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

State Functions

State functions are properties of a system that depend only on its current state, not on the path taken to reach that state. Examples include temperature (T), internal energy (E), enthalpy, and entropy (S). These quantities are useful in thermodynamics because they allow for the determination of system properties without needing to know the specific process involved.

Path Functions

Path functions are properties that depend on the specific path taken during a process. Unlike state functions, their values change based on the route taken from one state to another. Heat (q) and work (w) are classic examples of path functions, as their values can vary significantly depending on the process used to transfer energy.

Thermodynamic Processes

Thermodynamic processes describe the changes in a system's state due to energy transfer, which can occur as heat or work. Understanding these processes is crucial for distinguishing between state and path functions. For instance, in an isothermal process, temperature remains constant, while in an adiabatic process, no heat is exchanged, illustrating how different paths can affect energy transfer.

The crystalline hydrate Cd(NO3)2⋅4 H2O(s) loses water when placed in a large, closed, dry vessel at room temperature: Cd(NO3)2⋅4 H2O(s) → Cd(NO3)2(s) + 4 H2O(g) This process is spontaneous and ΔH° is positive at room temperature.

(b) If the hydrated compound is placed in a large, closed vessel that already contains a large amount of water vapor, does ΔS° change for this reaction at room temperature?
