Question
One mole of an ideal gas at 300 K is expanded isothermally from an initial volume of 1 L to 10 L. The change in internal energy, Δ U, for the gas in this process is
Answer: B
💡 Solution & Explanation
For an ideal gas, internal energy U depends only on temperature. Since the process is isothermal (constant temperature), the change in internal energy Δ U is exactly zero.
