    Which is not a path function?

    A)  \[\Delta Q\]

    B)  \[\Delta Q+\Delta W\]

    C)  \[\Delta W\]

    D)  \[\Delta Q-\Delta W\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In thermodynamics there is a function of the thermodynamic coordinates (P, V and T) whose final value minus its initial value equals the change \[\Delta Q-\Delta W\] in the process. We call this function the internal energy \[\Delta U\] function which depends only on the initial and final positions, so it is not a path function.
