Consider an ideal gas confined to the cylinder with a fixed piston, on heating the gas, all the heat supplied increases
Correct answer: A. Kinetic energy of the molecules
- A. Kinetic energy of the molecules
- B. Potential Energy of the molecules
- C. The intermolecular forces between gas molecules
- D. The number of gas molecules
Explanation
For an ideal gas, the internal energy (U) is directly related to its temperature. Heating the gas increases its internal energy. The increase in internal energy results in a rise in the temperature of the gas

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
