Asked in Premeth Test 45 — ThermochemistryModerate

Which one of the following is not the property of a system?

Correct answer: C. Thermal energy

  • A. Enthalpy
  • B. Internal energy
  • C. Thermal energy
  • D. Temperature

Explanation

Heat is not a thermodynamic property because heat is the energy that is transferred due to a temperature difference, which means that heat is not an energy that is contained within the system, but flowing either from or to the system, particularly if the system is in equilibrium.
