Assertion: From the initial and final states of a gas alone we cannot tell whether its internal energy rise was due to work or to heat transfer.

Reason: Internal energy is a state function, while work and heat depend on the path.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Internal energy is a state function, so is fixed by the end states. and are path dependent, so the end states alone do not tell us how was produced. A.
