Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain equal amount of an ideal diatomic gas at $303 \text{ K}$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move and that of cylinder $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ is $63 \text{ K}$, then the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is: (in $\text{ K}$)

$A$ certain amount of gas is taken through a cyclic process $(A-B-C-D-A)$ that has two isobars, one isochore, and one isothermal process. The cycle can be represented on a $P-V$ indicator diagram as:

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:

When a system is taken from state $i$ to state $f$ along the path $iaf$,$Q = 50 \ J$ and $W = 20 \ J$. Along the path $ibf$,$Q = 35 \ J$ and $W = -13 \ J$. For the curved path $fi$,$Q = \dots \ J$.

An ideal gas at pressure $P_0$ undergoes an isothermal expansion until its volume is $8.0$ times its initial volume. The gas is slowly and adiabatically compressed back to its original volume. If the adiabatic constant of the gas is $\gamma = 4/3$, then the ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in this final state to that in the initial state is
