This is your answer...

Answer 2

Dear Student,

● State function -

• Property of the system which depends upon only state of the system and not on the path by which is is achieved is called state function.

For example,

• Internal energy
• Temperature
• Volume
• Pressure
• Moles

# Internal energy is called state function because -

• Internal energy does not depend on the path used to go from initial state to final state.
• It depends only on the state of the system.
• Hence, internal energy is called state function.

Thanks dear...
