A diatomic gas with rigid molecules does 10 J of work when expanded at constant pressure. What would be the heat energy absorbed by the gas, in this process ?

Two moles of helium gas is mixed with three moles of hydrogen molecules (taken to be rigid). What is the molar specific heat of mixture at constant volume ? (R = 8.3 J/mol K)

When M₁ gram of ice at –10^oC (specific heat = 0.5 cal g^{–1 o}C^–1 ) is added to M₂ gram of water at 50C, finally no ice is left and the water is at 0°C. The value of latent heat of ice, in cal g^–1 is :

A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process abca as shown in the figure. The change in the internal energy of the gas along the path ca is –180 J. The gas absorbs 250 J of heat along the path ab and 60 J along the path bc. The work done by the gas along the path abc is:
