Kinetic Theory of Gases problem 14


A cylinder contains of an ideal gas at pressure of and volume . The average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas is given by the expression




where is the Boltzmann constant and is the thermodynamic temperature. The gas is heated at constant pressure so that its temperature rises by . Calculate the increase in internal energy of the gas. Explain your working.
