An ideal monatomic gas of $n$ moles is taken through a cycle $W-X-Y-Z-W$ consisting of consecutive adiabatic and isobaric quasi-static processes,as shown in the schematic $V-T$ diagram. The volumes of the gas at $W, X,$ and $Y$ points are $64 \ cm^3, 125 \ cm^3,$ and $250 \ cm^3,$ respectively. If the absolute temperature of the gas $T_W$ at point $W$ is such that $nRT_W = 1 \ J$ ($R$ is the universal gas constant),then the amount of heat absorbed (in $J$) by the gas along the path $XY$ is $.....$

Two identical adiabatic vessels are filled with oxygen at pressure $P_1$ and $P_2$ $(P_1 > P_2)$. The vessels are interconnected with each other by a non-conducting pipe. If $U_{01}$ and $U_{02}$ denote the initial internal energy of oxygen in the first and second vessel respectively,and $U_{f1}$ and $U_{f2}$ denote the final internal energy values,then:
