When the temperature of a metal wire is increased from 0^oC to 10^oC, its length increases by 0.02%. The percentage change in its mass density will be closest to :

A heat engine is involved with exchange of heat of 1915 J, – 40J, + 125 J and –Q J, during one cycle achieving an efficiency of 50.0%. The value of Q is

An ideal gas in a closed container is slowly heated. As its temperature increases, which of the following statements are true?
(A) the mean free path of the molecules decreases.
(B) the mean collision time between the molecules decreases.
(C) the mean free path remains unchanged.
(D) the mean collision time remains unchanged.

A gas mixture consists of 3 moles of oxygen and 5 moles of argon at temperature T. Assuming the gases to be ideal and the oxygen bond to be rigid, the total internal energy (in units of RT) of the mixture is :
