A bakelite beaker has volume capacity of 500 cc at 30^oC. When it is partially filled with Vm volume (at 30^oC) of mercury, it is found that the unfilled volume of the beaker remains constant as temperature is varied. If $$\gamma $$_(beaker) = 6 × 10^{–6 o}C^–1 and $$\gamma $$_(mercury) = 1.5 × 10^{–4 o}C^–1, where $$\gamma $$ is the coefficient of volume expansion, then V_m (in cc) is close to ____.

An engine takes in 5 moles of air at 20^oC and 1 atm, and compresses it adiabatically to 1/10^th of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be X kJ. The value of X to the nearest integer is________.

Starting at temperature 300 K, one mole of an
ideal diatomic gas ($$\gamma $$ = 1.4) is first compressed
adiabatically from volume V₁ to V₂ = $${{{V_1}} \over {16}}$$. It is
then allowed to expand isobarically to volume 2V₂. If all the processes are the quasi-static then
the final temperature of the gas (in ^oK) is (to the nearest integer) _____.

Three containers C₁, C₂ and C₃ have water at different temperatures. The table below shows the final temperature T when different amounts of water (given in litres) are taken from each containers and mixed (assume no loss of heat during the process) The value of $$\theta $$ (in °C to the nearest integer) is ..........
