For an ideal gas, the internal energy depends upon its ____________ only?

Correct answer: B. Temperature

  • A. Molecular size
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Volume
  • D. Pressure

Explanation

For an ideal gas, intermolecular effects are absent, so internal energy is a function of temperature alone, U = U(T). Pressure and volume may change independently while temperature remains fixed without changing the internal energy.
