Gideon Cox · Answer 1

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2*n*R*T

= 3/2 * (5.3) * (8.31451) * (24 + 273)

= 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.
