If during an adiabatic process the pressure of a mixture of gases is found to be proportional to the square of its absolute temperature,the ratio of $C_p / C_v$ for the mixture of gases is .........

$A$ cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) compartments at the same $P, V, T$. Heating is started from the left side until the pressure changes to $\frac{27P}{8}$. If the initial volume of each compartment was $9 \text{ litres}$, then the final volume in the right-hand side compartment is . . . . . . litres. (for this ideal gas $\gamma = C_P/C_V = 1.5$)

$A$ sample of gas at temperature $T$ is adiabatically expanded to double its volume. The adiabatic constant for the gas is $\gamma = 3/2$. The work done by the gas in the process is: $(\mu = 1 \text{ mole})$
