A system changes from state X to Y with a change in internal energy measuring to 25 kJ mol−1, by a
reversible path and returns from Y to X by an irreversible path. What will be the net change in internal energy?
A
25 kJ
B
> 25 KJ
C
<25 kJ
D
Zero
Answer
Zero
Explanation
Solution
: For a cyclic process, net change in internal energy is zero. Change in internal energy does not depend on the path by which final stage is reached.
