The change in volume of a system depends only upon?
Correct answer: C. Initial and final conditions
- A. Initial conditions
- B. Final conditions
- C. Initial and final conditions
- D. Path of the reaction
Explanation
The change in volume of a system depends on either its pressure or temperature. The initial changes in any of these as well as the final changes help us determine the overall change of the volume in the system.

About System, Surroundings and State Functions
A system is the part of the universe under study, while everything outside it is the surroundings; the boundary separates them. State functions such as pressure, temperature, volume, internal energy and enthalpy depend only on the state, unlike heat and work, which depend on the path taken.
