The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on:

Solution

Internal energy

  • Internal energy is the sum of the total energy (like chemical, electrical, mechanical) of the system.
  • The symbol for internal energy is U.

Dependence on internal energy

  • In an ideal gas, the inter-molecular collisions are assumed to be absent and the collisions are perfectly elastic.
  • The internal energy of the ideal gas only depends on temperature because the gas-only has translational kinetic energy.

So, the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on temperature.
