One statement of the first law of thermodynamics is that:. a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway.
b. the total work done on a system must equal the heat absorbed by the system.
c. the heat flow in or out of a system is independent of pathway.
d. the total energy flow in or out of a system is equal to the sum of the heat transferred to or from the system and the work done by or on the system.
e. in any chemical process the heat flow must equal the change in enthalpy.

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer into the system minus the net work done by the system.

ΔU = Q - W

Where;

Q, the net heat transfer into the system depends on the pathway

W, the net work done by the system also depends on the pathway

But, ΔU, the change in internal energy is independent of pathway

Therefore, the correct option is "A"

a. the amount of work done on a system is dependent of pathway
