WHAT DOES STATE FUNCTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

State function

In thermodynamics, a state function, function of state, state quantity, or state variable is a property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the way in which the system acquired that state. A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system. For example, internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy are state quantities because they describe quantitatively an equilibrium state of a thermodynamic system, irrespective of how the system arrived in that state. In contrast, mechanical work and heat are process quantities because their values depend on the specific transition between two equilibrium states.

Definition of state function in the English dictionary

The definition of state function in the dictionary is a thermodynamic quantity that has definite values for given states of a system, such as entropy, enthalpy, free energy, etc.
