n moles of an ideal gas with constant volume heat capcity C_V undergo an isobaric expansion by certain volume. The ratio of the work done in the process, to the heat supplied is :

A 25 × 10^–3 m³ volume cylinder is filled with 1 mol of O₂ gas at room temperature (300K). The molecular diameter of O₂, and its root mean square speed, are found to be 0.3 nm, and 200 m/s, respectively. What is the average collision rate (per second) for an O₂ molecule ?

A massless spring (k = 800 N/m), attached with a mass (500 g) is completely immersed in 1 kg of water. The spring is stretched by 2 cm and released so that it starts vibrating. What would be the order of magnitude of the change in the temperature of water when the vibrations stop completely ? (Assume that the water container and spring receive negligible heat and specific heat of mass = 400 J/kg K, specific heat of water = 4184 J/kg K)

The specific heats, C_P and C_V of a gas of diatomic molecules, A, are given (in units of J mol^–1 K^–1) by 29 and 22, respectively. Another gas of diatomic molecules, B, has the corresponding values 30 and 21. If they are treated as ideal gases, then :-
