GATE 2011
Easy
Heat and work are
- Aintensive properties
- Bextensive properties
- Cpoint functions
- path functions
Explanation
Heat and work are not properties of a system at all — they are path functions (their values depend on the process/path taken between two states, not just the end states), unlike state properties such as pressure, temperature, or internal energy which are point functions.
