It's a state function, so we're at constant temperature and pressure, and now we want to consider some chemical change or a phase transition or you name it.

这就是态函数，我们处于恒定的温度和压强之下，然后考虑某些化学变化或者相变,或者你想考虑的东西。

We need to have conditions internally that are relatively constant in terms of temperature, and pH, and chemical composition in order for us to thrive.

我们需要体内的环境参数保持相对稳定,这些环境参数包括,温度,pH值,以及化学组成,这样人才能茁壮成长

What is it when you run a chemical reaction under ordinary circumstances, what's constant?

如果你在通常的环境下进行化学实验,那么这些条件是什么？什么保持常数？

Anybody have an idea? What's the one function of state? I'm the system, the rest are the surrounding. What's the one function of state that's constant when I'm doing all my chemical reactions to move my arms around?

态函数又是什么呢？,我是一个系统，其余的是周围的环境,那么当我在做所有的化学反应,去四处移动我的手臂的时候,什么量是常数？
