1. Two moles of a diatomic idea gas is taken through a process PT = const. Its temperature is
increased from T0 to 2T0. Find the work done by the system?
2. At 1 atm pressure, 1 gram of water having a volume of 1 cm3 becomes 1.091 cm3 of ice on freezing.

the process?
3. Find the molar heat capacity of the process P = a/T for a monoatomic gas, ‘a’ being positive
constant.
4. A gaseous mixture enclosed in a vessel consists of one gm mole of a gas A with ɣ = 5/3 and some
amount of gas B with ɣ = 7/5 at a temperature T. The gases A and B do not react with each other
and are assumed to be ideal. Find the number of gram moles of the gas B if ɣ for the gaseous
mixture is 19/13.

each cylinder is now allowed to expand isothermally to the same inal volume 2V. The change in the
pressure in A and B are found to be Δ P and 1.5 ΔP, respectively, then
