JEE Main2003ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
The internal energy change when a system goes from state A to B is 40 ~kJ / mole . If the system goes from A to B by a reversible path and retums to state A by an irreversible path what would be the net change in internalenergy?
Options
- A>40 ~kJ
- B< 40 ~kJ
- CZero
- D40 ~kJ
Correct answer
C. Zero
Step-by-step solution
For a cyclic process the net change in the internal energy is zero because the change in internal energy does not depend on the path.
