Q

A system goes from state 1

Suppose the changes in state are reversible processes. Can you conclude anything about the work done by the system upon going from state 1
to state 2
as compared to that upon going from state 2
back to state 1
?

A

The magnitudes of the work are equal, but the signs are opposite.

If the changes of state are reversible, the two paths are different, w(1→2)=−w(2→1).
