$A$ cylinder made of perfectly non-conducting material,closed at both ends,is divided into two equal parts by a heat-proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same mass of a gas at a temperature $t_0 = 27^{\circ}C$ and pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$. If the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to $t = 57^{\circ}C$ while the temperature of the first part is maintained at $t_0$,the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be $x \text{ cm}$. Find $x$ (total length of the cylinder $= 84 \text{ cm}$).

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

Consider the following volume-temperature $(V-T)$ diagram for the expansion of $5$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas. Considering only $P-V$ work is involved,the total change in enthalpy (in Joule) for the transformation of state in the sequence $X \rightarrow Y \rightarrow Z$ is $\qquad$ [Use the given data: Molar heat capacity of the gas for the given temperature range,$C_{v,m} = 12 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$ and gas constant,$R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$]
