[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].
Does a gas have just two specific heat capacities or more than two? Is the number of specific heat capacities of a gas countable?
Can we define specific heat capacity at constant temperature?
Does a solid also have two kinds of molar heat capacities Cp and Cv? If yes, is Cp > Cv? Or is Cp − Cv = R?
In a real gas, the internal energy depends on temperature and also on volume. The energy increases when the gas expands isothermally. Examining the derivation of Cp − Cv = R, find whether Cp − Cv will be more than R, less than R or equal to R for a real gas.
Can a process on an ideal gas be both adiabatic and isothermal?
In an isothermal process on an ideal gas, the pressure increases by 0.5%. The volume decreases by about

(a) The final temperatures in the three containers will be the same.
(b) The final pressures in the three containers will be the same.
(c) The pressures of helium and neon will be the same but that of oxygen will be different.

5 g of a gas is contained in a rigid container and is heated from 15°C to 25°C. Specific heat capacity of the gas at constant volume is 0.172 cal g−1 °C−1 and the mechanical equivalent of heat is 4.2 J cal−1. Calculate the change in the internal energy of the gas
Air (γ = 1.4) is pumped at 2 atm pressure in a motor tyre at 20°C. If the tyre suddenly bursts, what would be the temperature of the air coming out of the tyre? Neglect any mixing with the atmospheric air.
The figure shows two vessels with adiabatic walls, one containing 0.1 g of helium (γ = 1.67, M = 4 g mol−1) and the other containing some amount of hydrogen (γ = 1.4, M = 2 g mol−1). Initially, the temperatures of the two gases are equal. The gases are electrically heated for some time during which equal amounts of heat are given to the two gases. It is found that the temperatures rise through the same amount in the two vessels. Calculate the mass of hydrogen.
