L'état physique d'un corps peut être défini par ses propriétés. Ainsi, à une température donnée, l'eau a une tension de vapeur déterminée, une certaine densité et un certain volume massique, certaines valeurs pour l'indice de réfraction, la tension superficielle, la viscosité, l'énergie interne, l'entropie, etc. Il en résulte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de préciser toutes les propriétés de l'eau pour définir son état. Celles qui y suffisent sont appelées variables indépendantes. Les grandeurs ou les propriétés capables de déterminer l'état d'un corps sont la masse, le volume, l'énergie interne, l'entropie, ainsi que, s'il s'agit d'un mélange à plusieurs composants, la composition (au moyen du nombre de moles). [...] En ayant recours à des paramètres d'état, tels que pression et température, [...] on peut définir certaines des propriétés du corps par des équations d'état, qui expriment ces paramètres intensifs en fonction des paramètres extensifs [...]. 2, record 4, French, - variable%20d%27%C3%A9tat
