Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding State Functions

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. Examples of state functions include internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options
  • Heat: Heat is not a state function because it depends on the path taken during the process of energy transfer.
  • Internal Energy: Internal energy is a state function because it depends only on the state of the system, not on how the system arrived at that state.
  • Work: Work is not a state function because it depends on the path taken during the process of energy transfer.

Final Answer

The correct answer is \(\boxed{\text{internal energy}}\).

Verify the identity. sin(5x) - sin(x) / cos(5x) - cos(x) = -cot(3x) Start with the numerator of the left side and apply the appropriate formula of sum-to-product. sin(5x) - sin(x) = 2 sin((5x-x)/2) cos((5x+x)/2) (Do not simplify.) Now use the sum-to-product formula on the denominator of the left side. cos(5x) - cos(x) = (Do not simplify.)

Consider the following operations on the number 3.17 x 10^-2 Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 3.17 x 10^-2, which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value. 3.17 x 10^-2 + 4.00 x 10^-6 3.17 x 10^-2 - 4.00 x 10^-6 3.17 x 10^-2 x 4.00 x 10^-6 3.17 x 10^-2 ÷ 4.00 x 10^-6
