Internal Energy
 

Internal Energy problem 21


  • State the basic assumption of the kinetic theory of gases that leads to the conclusion that the potential energy between the atoms of an ideal gas is zero.


  • State what is meant by the internal energy of a substance.


  • Explain why an increase in internal energy of an ideal gas is directly related to a rise in temperature of the gas.
