State Functions

[Katelyn B 2E]

Can someone remind me which properties are state functions? I know enthalpy, Gibb's free energy, and entropy are definitely state functions, and work and heat are not state functions. Which other ones am I missing?

Pressure, volume, temperature, density and internal energy are all state functions.

It'll probably be easier to understand the concept of state functions rather than memorize a list. Since a state function is something that doesn't depend on the path taken to get from the initial to final state, you can see why temperature and volume etc can be considered state functions.

[Jade Fosburgh Discussion 2C]

q and w are NOT state functions.

delta U, delta H, q, etc. are state functions

[Matt_Fontila_2L_Chem14B]

State functions are those that depend only on its initial and final states. They don't depend on the path taken to get to the final state.
