The molar heats of fusion and vaporisation of benzene are $10.9$ and $31.0 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The changes in entropy for the solid $\rightarrow$ liquid and liquid $\rightarrow$ vapour transitions for benzene are $x$ and $y \ JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. The value of $(y-x)$ (in $JK^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$) is (At $1 \ atm$,benzene melts at $5.5^{\circ} C$ and boils at $80^{\circ} C$).

When $128 \, g$ of oxygen gas is heated from $0 \, ^oC$ to $100 \, ^oC$,the average values of $C_v$ and $C_p$ are $5 \, cal \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ and $7 \, cal \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ respectively. Find the values of $\Delta U$ and $\Delta H$.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: For an ideal gas,heat capacity at constant volume is always greater than the heat capacity at constant pressure.
Statement $II$: In a constant volume process,no work is produced and all the heat withdrawn goes into the chaotic motion and is reflected by a temperature increase of the ideal gas.
