Question
Chemistry Question on internal energy
The internal energy of an ideal gas is :
A
The sum of total kinetic and potential energies
B
The total translational kinetic energy
C
The total kinetic energy of randomly moving molecules
D
The total kinetic energy of gas molecules
Answer
The total kinetic energy of gas molecules
Explanation
Solution
There is no interaction among the molecules of a gas, hence potential energy of an ideal gas is zero.
