Characteristic state function
ID: characteristic-state-function
A characteristic state function is a type of thermodynamic property that depends only on the state of a system and not on the path taken to reach that state. In other words, these functions are determined solely by the condition of the system (such as temperature, pressure, volume, and number of particles) at a given moment, and they provide key information about the system's thermodynamic state.
