What does E stand for?

Postby Christina Cen 2J » Wed Feb 14, 2018 1:38 pm

In the Winter 2014 midterm 5C, it asks which are state functions for w, G, q, H, E, and S.
G,H,S are state functions and w,q, E are not. I'm not sure what E is in this problem.

E is referring to the cell potential. (We are currently learning about this in electrochemistry.)

E is cell potential, which is an intensive property, and its units are in Volts, which is J/C.

E is cell potential which will not be covered on the midterm.
