(a) $6 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~J}$

(b) $10^8 \mathrm{~J}$

(c) $9 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~J}$

(d) $3 \times 10^2 \mathrm{~J}$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2.( c )

Solution:

Formula:

Total Translational K.E. Of Gas

  1. Key Idea Internal energy of ’ $n$ ’ moles of a gas with degree of freedom $f$ ( $=3$ for an ideal gas), at temperature $T$ is

$ E=\frac{f}{2} \cdot n R T=\frac{3}{2} n R T $

For an ideal gas, internal energy, $E=\frac{3}{2} n R T$

$ =\frac{3}{2} p \cdot V \quad(\because \text { from } p V=n R T) $

Substituting the given values, we get

$ =\frac{3}{2} \times 3 \times 10^6 \times 2=9 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~J} $
