A solid body of constant heat capacity 1 J C-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 the cases, the body is brought from initial temperature 100 °C to final temperature 200 °C. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively, is

Consider an ideal gas confined in an isolated closed chamber. As the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the average time of collision between molecules increases as Vq, where, V is the volume of the gas. The value of q is γ=CpCV

IMPORTANT
An ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static reversible process in which its molar heat capacity C remains constant. If during this process, the relation of pressure p and volume V is given by pVn=constant, then n is given by (here Cp and CV are molar specific heat at constant pressure and constant volume, respectively.)

Two moles of ideal helium gas are in a rubber balloon at 30°C. The balloon is fully expandable and can be assumed to require no energy in its expansion. The temperature of the gas in the balloon is slowly changed to 35°C. The amount of heat required in raising the temperature is nearly (take R=8.31J/molK):

A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure pi=105 Pa and volume Vi=10-3 m3 changes to a final state at pf=132×105 Pa and Vf=8×10-3 m3 in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that p3V5=constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at pi followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume Vf. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximate,
