The entropy change of a system taken from an initial state to a final state along
a reversible path is

The value of S for the system is the same for all paths connecting the same initial
and final states; therefore, we conclude that S = 0 for any reversible cycle. The
Suppose that an ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static reversible process from an initial
state having temperature Ti and volume Vi to a final state described by Tf and Vf.
