$A$ sample of argon at $1 \text{ atm}$ pressure and $300 \text{ K}$ expands reversibly and adiabatically from $1.25 \text{ dm}^3$ to $2.5 \text{ dm}^3$. Calculate the approximate enthalpy change (in $\text{J}$).
$(I)$ $C_V$ for argon is $12.48 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1}$
$(II)$ Assume argon to be an ideal gas
$(III)$ $\Delta T = 111.5 \text{ K}$ (temperature decrease)

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?

$A$ gas at $10 \, atm$ pressure and $300 \, K$ temperature undergoes adiabatic reversible expansion to $5 \, atm$ pressure and $290 \, K$ temperature. The molar heat capacity $C_v$ of the gas in $cal \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ is:

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 $500 \ K$. $(1 \ L \ atm = 0.1 \ kJ)$

For the hypothetical reaction
$A_{2(g)} + B_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2AB_{(g)}$
$\Delta_r G^o$ and $\Delta_r S^o$ are $20 \ kJ/mol$ and $-20 \ J K^{-1} mol^{-1}$ respectively at $200 \ K$.
If $\Delta_r C_P$ is $20 \ J K^{-1} mol^{-1}$ then $\Delta_r H^o$ at $400 \ K$ is.....$kJ/mol$

The heat of vaporisation and heat of fusion of $H_2O$ are $540 \, cal/g$ and $80 \, cal/g$. The ratio of $\frac{\Delta S_{vap}}{\Delta S_{fusion}}$ for water is :-
