An open vessel at 27oC is heated until two fifth of the air (assumed as an ideal gas) in it has escaped from the vessel. Assuming that the volume of the vessel remains constant, the temperature to which the vessel has been heated is:

A vertical closed cylinder is separated into two parts by a frictionless piston of mass m and of negligible thickness. The piston is free to move along the length of the cylinder. The length of the cylinder above piston is l1, and that below the piston is l2, such that l1>l2. Each part of the cylinder contains n moles of an ideal gas at equal temperature T. If the piston is stationary, its mass m will be given by:

An ideal gas filled in a cylinder occupies volume, V. The gas is compressed isothermally to the volume, V3. Now the cylinder valve is opened and the gas is allowed to leak keeping the temperature the same.

A cylinder closed at both ends is separated into two equal parts (45 cm each) by a piston impermeable to heat. Both the parts contain the same masses of gas at a temperature of 300 K and a pressure of 1 atm.
