Suppose a tank contains 787 m3 of neon (Ne) at an absolute pressure of 1.01×105 Pa. The temperature is changed from 293.2 to 294.7 K. What is the increase in the internal energy of the neon?
Solution:
Given data


temperature is changed from 293.2 to 294.7 K
Increase in the internal energy of the neon:
The change in internal energy of a gas is

we assume the neon perfect in terms of Calorically ,then the above equation can also be written as


= change in internal energy of a gascv is expressed in terms of the gas constant R , when it exists mono atomically on the sun, k=5/3.

above expression is substitute in equation-(1)



By using the Ideal gas law


above n*R value substitute in equation(2)



Now we know all values so substitute in above expression then find the internal energy of a gas is

we know that 1 k Pa * 1m3 = 1 kilo Joules.
