Re: State Properties
The state properties are E, P, V, T, Density, and Heat Capacity. The only non state properties are work (w) and heat (q) because they depend on the path taken.

Re: State Properties
Another way to look at it if you don't remember is that state properties aren't dependent on the path taken to reach the final value (can just look at the final and initial values).

Re: State Properties
U is also a state property. Even though work and heat are not, internal energy does not depend on a specific path, so delta U is a state function.

Re: State Properties
A state property is a quantity that is independent of how the substance was prepared.
I like to think of it as the building blocks in the equations we use for this unit

Re: State Properties
Some state properties include enthalpy, energy, pressure, density, and heat capacity. It is important to note that heat and work are not state properties.

Re: State Properties
In lecture, it was mentioned that a state property is not dependent on the path taken to obtain that state. Some examples include enthalpy, density, heat capacity, pressure, volume, temperature and energy.

Re: State Properties
Hi! As defined in the textbook, a state property (or state function) is a property that depends solely on the current state of the system and is independent of how that state was prepared. Using this definition, pressure, volume, temperature, density, and enthalpy may all be understood to be state functions. Counterexamples would include both heat and work, as the amount of work done by a system is determined not by the current state of the system, but by the process by which this change is brought about, and the energy transferred as heat during a change in the state of a system is dependent upon the path taken to reach that state. I hope this is helpful!

Re: State Properties
A state property is defined as one that does not depend on the path taken to get to that state. State properties can be added or subtracted. The state properties are E, P, V, T, density, and heat capacity.
