Q.No

1 Calculate the work done when a gram molecule of an ideal gas

expands isothermally at 27 degree C to double its original
volume. [R=8.3 J/deg mole]
2 Find the efficiency of Carnot’s engine working between the
steam point and the ice point.
3 A Carnot engine has an efficiency of 30% when temperature of
the sink is 27 degree C. What must be the change in temperature
of the source to make its efficiency 50%.
4 Calculate the change in the entropy when 10 grams of ice at )
degree C is converted into water at the same temperature.
(Given latent heat of ice = 80 cal/gram).
5 One gram molecule of a gas expands isothermally to four times
of its volume. Calculate the change in its entropy in terms of gas
constant.
