Important Questions on Thermal Properties of Matter

EASY
A thermocouple produces a thermo-e.m.f. of 40μV/C. A thermopile is made by using 150 such thermocouples. The temperatures of the two junctions are 20°C and 40°C. How much thermo-emf will be generated in the thermopile?
HARD
A closed tank has two compartments A and B, both filled with oxygen (assumed to be ideal gas). The partition separating the two compartments is fixed and is a perfect heat insulator (Figure1). If the old partition is replaced by a new partition which can slide and conduct heat but does not allow the gas to leak across (Figure 2), the volume (in m3) of the compartment A after the system attains equilibrium is 20x m3. Write the value of x.

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?

Three different processes that can occur in an ideal monoatomic gas are shown in the P vs V diagram. The paths are labelled as AB,AC and AD. The change in internal energies during these process are taken as EAB,EAC and EAD and the work done as WAB,WAC and WAD. The correct relation between these parameters are:
