1.Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stopcock. A
contains a gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completey evacuated. The entire
system is thermally insulated. The stopcock is suddenly opened. Answer the following:
(a) What is the final pressure of the gas in A and B ?
(b) What is the change in internal energy of the gas?
(c) What is the change in the temperature of the gas?
(d) Do the intermediate states of the system (before settling to the final equilibrium state) lie of
its P-V-T Surface?

2. Find out the work done in adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas.

3.If half mole of helium is contained in a container at S. T. P. How much heat energy is needed
to double the pressure of the gas, keeping the volume of the gas constant? (Given specific heat
of gas = 3J | g |K)
