An ideal gas in a cylinder is separated by a piston in such a way that the entropy of one part is S1 and that of the other part is S2. Given that S1>S2. If the piston is removed then the total entropy of the system will be:
EASY

Consider the given diagram. An ideal gas is contained in a chamber (left) of volume V and is at an absolute temperature T. It is allowed to rush freely into the right chamber of volume V which is initially vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated. What will be the final temperature, if the equilibrium has been attained?

A monoatomic gas of mass 4.0 u is kept in an insulated container. The container is moving with velocity 30 m s-1. If the container is suddenly stopped then a change in temperature of the gas (R=gas constant) is x3R. Value of x is,
MEDIUM
N moles of diatomic gas in a cylinder is at a temperature T. Heat is supplied to the cylinder such that the temperature remains constant but n moles of the diatomic gas get converted into monoatomic gas. The change in the total kinetic energy of the gas is
EASY
If system A is in thermal equilibrium with B and B is separately in thermal equilibrium with C, then A and C are in thermal equilibrium. From which thermodynamics law, does this follow?
MEDIUM
A sample of 0.1g of water at 100 oC and normal pressure 1.013×105 N m-2 requires 54cal of heat energy to convert to steam at 100 oC. If the volume of the steam produced is 167.1cc, the change in internal energy of the sample, is
