$(ii)$ $A$ thermometer measures temperature according to the ......... law of thermodynamics.
$(iii)$ The foundation of thermochemistry is based on the ......... law of thermodynamics.

One mole of an ideal gas for which $C_v = (3/2)R$ is heated at a constant pressure of $1 \ atm$ from $25 \ ^oC$ to $100 \ ^oC$. The value of $\Delta H$ is $...... \ cal$.

$A$ pure substance (solid,liquid,or gas) of constant composition is taken in a closed container. Select the correct plot if pressure is applied at constant temperature in the absence of non-expansion work.

The heats of combustion of $CH_4, C_2H_6, C_2H_4$,and $C_2H_2$ at the same temperature are $-212.8, -373.0, -337.0$,and $-310.5 \, Kcal$ respectively. Which of these gases is the best fuel?

$A$ thermodynamic cycle in the pressure $(p)-$ volume $(V)$ plane is given below. $A B$ and $C D$ are isothermal processes while $B C$ and $D A$ are adiabatic processes. The same cycle in the temperature $(T) -$ entropy $(S)$ plane is
