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

  • A
    $40 \, kJ/mol$
  • B
    $> 0 \, kJ/mol$
  • C
    $< 40 \, kJ/mol$
  • D
    $Zero$
