For an ideal gas, consider only P-V work in going from an initial state X to the final state Z. The final state Z can be reached by either of the two paths shown in the figure. Which of the following choice(s) is(are) correct? [Take ΔS as change in entropy and w as work done]
  1. DSXZ = DSXY + DSYZ
  2. wXZ = wXY + wYZ
  3. wXY Z = wXY
  4. DSXYZ = DSXY

Answer

(A) D S X → Z = D S X → Y + D S Y → Z
