Question
Which of the following physical quantities are independent from amount and path, both?
Answer: B,C,D
💡 Solution & Explanation
Intensive state functions are independent of both path and amount. Temperature is an intensive state function. Molar heat exchanged at constant volume ($C_v \Delta T$) and pressure ($C_p \Delta T$) strictly reflect molar state changes (intensive) and are state functions for their respective defined paths. Internal energy is an extensive property, thus dependent on amount.
