$A$ thin-walled cylindrical metal vessel with a linear coefficient of expansion $10^{-3} \ ^\circ C^{-1}$ contains benzene with a volume expansion coefficient of $10^{-3} \ ^\circ C^{-1}$. If the vessel and its contents are heated by $10 \ ^\circ C$,the pressure due to the liquid at the bottom:

  • A
    increases by $2\%$
  • B
    decreases by $1\%$
  • C
    decreases by $2\%$
  • D
    remains unchanged

An iron rod of heat capacity $C$ is heated to temperature $8T_0$. It is then put in a cylindrical vessel of adiabatic walls having two moles of air which can be treated as a diatomic ideal gas at temperature $T_0$ and closed by a movable piston which is also adiabatic. The atmospheric pressure is $P_0$. The cylinder with the piston combined have a heat capacity $2C$. Find the equilibrium temperature. (Assume the temperature of air to be uniform and equal to the vessel at all times).

An electric heater with a constant heat supply rate is used to convert a certain amount of liquid ammonia to saturated vapour at high pressure. The heater takes $14 \text{ minutes}$ to bring the liquid at $15^{\circ}C$ to the boiling point of $50^{\circ}C$ and $92 \text{ minutes}$ to convert the liquid at the boiling point wholly to vapour. If the specific heat capacity of liquid ammonia is $4.9 \text{ kJ/kg K}$,the latent heat of vaporisation of ammonia in $\text{kJ/kg}$ is:
