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:

A solid body of constant heat capacity 1 J -1 is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways: (i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat. (ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies the same amount of heat. In both, cases the body is brought from initial temperature 100 K to final temperature 200 K . Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is: Note: This question was awarded as a bonus since temperatures were given in centigrade instead of in Kelvin. Proper corrections are made in the question to avoid it.

As shown schematically in the figure, two vessels contain water solutions (at temperature T) of potassium permanganate KMnO4 of different concentrations n1 and n2n1>n2 molecules per unit volume with Δn=n1-n2n1. When they are connected by a tube of small length l and cross-sectional area S, KMnO4 starts to diffuse from the left to the right vessel through the tube. Consider the collection of molecules to behave as dilute ideal gases and the difference in their partial pressure in the two vessels causing the diffusion. The speed v of the molecules is limited by the viscous force -βv on each molecule, where β is a constant. Neglecting all terms of the order Δn2. Which of the following is/are correct?
