The internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of its _____________ only?
Correct answer: C. Temperature
- A. Molecular size
- B. Volume
- C. Temperature
- D. Pressure
Explanation
For an ideal gas, intermolecular effects are neglected, so internal energy depends only on temperature. Changes in pressure or volume affect the state but do not independently change its internal energy.
