Question

The internal energy of a system is _____ to the temperature of the system.

  1. Directly
  2. Inversely
  3. Indirectly
  4. Not

hintHint:

The internal energy is the total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles in the system. When energy is given to raise the temperature , particles speed up and they gain kinetic energy.

The correct answer is: Directly


    The internal energy of an ideal gas is therefore directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. In this equation, R is the ideal gas constant in joules per mole kelvin (J/mol-K) and T is the temperature in kelvin. The internal energy of systems that are more complex than an ideal gas can't be measured directly.
