The molar heats of fusion and vaporisation of benzene are $10.9$ and $31.0 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The changes in entropy for the solid $\rightarrow$ liquid and liquid $\rightarrow$ vapour transitions for benzene are $x$ and $y \ JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $(y-x)$ (in $JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$) is (At $1 \ atm$,benzene melts at $5.5^{\circ} C$ and boils at $80^{\circ} C$).

The molar heat of neutralization of $NaOH$ with $HCl$ in comparison to that of $KOH$ with $HNO_3$ is:

One mole of an ideal gas is allowed to expand reversibly and adiabatically from a temperature of $27\,^oC$. If the work done during the process is $3\,kJ$,the final temperature will be equal to $(C_v = 20\,J\,K^{-1} \, mol^{-1})$

For the reaction,$2 CO + O_2 \longrightarrow 2 CO_2$; $\Delta H = -560 \ kJ$. Two moles of $CO$ and one mole of $O_2$ are taken in a container of volume $1 \ L$. They completely form two moles of $CO_2$. The gases deviate appreciably from ideal behavior. If the pressure in the vessel changes from $70 \ atm$ to $40 \ atm$,find the magnitude (absolute value) of $\Delta U$ at $500 \ K$. $(1 \ L \ atm = 0.1 \ kJ)$

$A$ gas present in a cylinder expands against a constant pressure of $1 \, atm$ from a volume of $2 \, L$ to a volume of $6 \, L$. In doing so,it absorbs $800 \, J$ of heat from the surroundings. The change in internal energy of the process is ....... $J$.

$X \, g$ of ice at $0^{\circ} C$ is added to $340 \, g$ of water at $20^{\circ} C$. The final temperature of the resultant mixture is $5^{\circ} C$. The value of $X$ (in $g$) is closest to:
[Heat of fusion of ice $= 333 \, J / g$; specific heat of water $= 4.184 \, J / g \cdot K$]
