Question 3

3(a)(ii)2 marks

Use one of the basic assumptions of the kinetic theory to explain what can be deduced about the potential energy associated with the random motion of molecules in an ideal gas.

Using You must use the thing it names. An answer that reaches the right value another way may not score.

A sample of 0.26 m³ of an ideal gas is at pressure 2.0 × 10⁵ Pa and temperature 290 K. The volume V of this gas is now varied, keeping its pressure constant.

On Fig. 3.1, sketch the variation with V of the internal energy U of the gas.
