Why are the following statements false?

The potential energy of a system of interacting particles equals the sum of the potential energies of the individual particles.

The value of the integral ( - pdV) is fixed once the values of the initial and final states(1 and 2) are established.

For a closed system at rest with no fields present, the sum q+w has the same value forevery process that goes from given state 1 to given state 2.

For a constant volume process in a closed system,H=U.

Cp is a state function.

Can a system have negative potential energy? No, because a negative potential energy is unphysical. No, because the kinetic energy of a system must be equal to its potential energy. Yes, as long as the total energy remains positive. Yes, as long as the total energy remains negative. Yes, because the choice of the zero of potential energy is arbitrary.
