In lecture, Dr. Lavelle stated that since the system is at equilibrium, it is a "reversible process."
Is a reversible process only possible when the system involves a gas, or can solids and liquids constitute a reversible process as well?

Re: Reversible Process
Hi. Since the formula for the reversible process is w = -nRT ln(Vf/Vi), the difference in volume with the constant R are used for gas only as solid doesn't change volume.
