When a system goes from state $A$ to state $B$,the change in internal energy is $40 \, kJ/mol$. If the system returns from state $B$ to state $A$ via a reversible path and then returns to state $A$ via an irreversible path,what is the net change in internal energy?

  • A
    $< 40 \, kJ$
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    $40 \, kJ$
  • D
