Chapter 17, Problem 17.30E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the fact that thermodynamic state functions are not equal to zero even though they contain the derivative of a constant, that is, q is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Thermodynamic state functions describe the state of the system. These properties depend on the initial and final states and not on the path by which the state has arrived.

Partition function is defined as the functions of the thermodynamic state variables. It is a pure number and a unitless quantity because it represents the sum of the exponential functions.
