Internal energy of an ideal gas___________________?

Correct answer: D. None of these

  • A. Increases with increase in pressure
  • B. Decreases with increase in temperature
  • C. Is independent of temperature
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on absolute temperature, not independently on pressure. Therefore it neither necessarily increases with pressure nor decreases with temperature, making none of the listed statements correct.
