With increase in temperature, the internal energy of a substance___________________?

Correct answer: A. Increases

  • A. Increases
  • B. Decreases
  • C. Remains unchanged
  • D. May increase or decrease; depends on the substance

Explanation

The temperature dependence of internal energy is governed by heat capacity, dU = Cv dT at constant volume, and Cv is normally positive. Hence increasing temperature increases internal energy.
