Why is internal energy not sufficient to compare states?

Thank you for your answer.

I think it has to do something with free energy, but I can't remember now. I hope someone else knows!

It's a difficult question... I have been searching for 3 hours and found nothing :(
 

Thread 'Modeling a graph that shows age in relation to depth of an ice sample'

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
