In a thermodynamic process,the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas molecules release $20 \ J$ of heat and $10 \ J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $40 \ J$,then the final internal energy will be ........ $J$.

In a thermodynamics process,the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas is changed in such a manner that the gas releases $20 \ J$ of heat and $8 \ J$ of work is done on the gas. If the initial internal energy of the gas was $30 \ J$,what will be the final internal energy in $J$?

$1 \, kg$ of a gas does $20 \, kJ$ of work and receives $16 \, kJ$ of heat when it is expanded between two states. $A$ second kind of expansion can be found between the initial and final states which requires a heat input of $9 \, kJ$. The work done by the gas in the second expansion is ....... $kJ$.

$1 \ cc$ of water at its boiling point $(100^{\circ} \ C)$ is converted into steam by supplying $540 \ \text{calories}$ of heat. The volume of steam is $1671 \ cc$. If atmospheric pressure is $1.013 \times 10^5 \ \text{Nm}^{-2}$ and $J = 4.18 \ \text{joule/cal}$, the approximate value of heat required to overcome the molecular attraction is ........ $\text{cal}$.
