The cylinder contains helium gas, the mass of which is 200g. at a temperature of 20 C. What is its internal energy equal to?

Task data: m (mass of helium in the cylinder) = 200 g; T (absolute temperature of helium) = 293 K (20 ºС).

Constant data: i (the number of degrees of freedom of molecules of the monatomic gas of helium) = 3; M (molar mass) ≈ 4 g / mol; R (universal gas constant) = 8.31 J / (mol * K).

The internal energy of helium in the cylinder can be determined by the formula: Q = 0.5 * i * (m / M) * R * ΔТ.

Calculation: Q = 0.5 * 3 * (200/4) * 8.31 * 293 ≈ 182.6 kJ.

Answer: The internal energy of helium is 182.6 kJ.
