Important Questions on Develop a model that predicts and describes changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed.

MEDIUM
When a gas is allowed to expand in a well-insulated container, against a constant external pressure of 5 atm, from an initial value of 10 L to a final volume of 15 L, find the change in the internal energy (ΔU) of the gas.
HARD
5 moles of helium expand isothermally and reversibly from a pressure 40×10-5  Nm-2  to 4×10-5  Nm-2  at 300 K. Calculate the work done, change in internal energy and heat absorbed during the expansion. (R=8.314 JK-1mol-1)
EASY
Consider two states, A and B, of a thermodynamic system. Let Path 1 represent a reversible process for going from A to B, while Path 2 represents an irreversible process for the same. Let the work done, heat change, and entropy change for the two processes be denoted by dwrev ,dqrev ,dSrev  and dwirrev ,dqirrev ,dSirrev , respectively. It is observed that the relation dwrev<dwirrev  is obeyed. The correct statement is
EASY
A gas undergoes change from state A to state B. In this process, the heat absorbed and work done by the gas is 5 J and 8 J, respectively. Now gas is brought back to A by another process during which 3 J of heat is evolved. In this reverse process of B to A.
MEDIUM
A piston filled with 0.04 mol of an ideal gas expands reversibly from 50.0 mL to 375 mL at a constant temperature of 3 7 . 0 C. As it does so, it absorbs 208 J of heat. The values of q and w for the process will be 
(R = 8.314 J/mol K) (ln7.5 = 2.01)
