which of the following is not a state function?
moles (n)
pressure (p)
work (w)
enthalpy (h)
A state function depends only on the current state of a system (like temperature, pressure, moles, enthalpy) and not on the path taken to reach that state. Work (w) depends on the path (e.g., different processes like isothermal, adiabatic have different work values for the same initial and final states), so it is not a state function. Moles (n), pressure (P), and enthalpy (H) are state functions as they depend on the system's state.
