Which is a measure of the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of each particle in the system?
A)E,the internal energy
B)G,the Gibbs free energy
C)H,the enthalpy
D)T,the temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The internal energy is defined as the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in the system. Therefore, A is the correct option. Gibbs free energy (G) measures the energy available to do work, Enthalpy (H) measures the heat content of a system, and Temperature (T) is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the system. However, they do not take into account the potential energy of the particles.
