A basketball at 290 K holds 0.92 mol of air molecules. What is the internal energy of the air in the ball?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the internal energy of the air in the basketball, we can use the formula for the internal energy of an ideal gas: \[ U = \frac{3}{2} nRT \] where: - \( U \) is the internal energy, - \( n \) is the number of moles of the gas, - \( R \) is the universal gas constant (approximately \( 8.314 \, \text{J/(mol K)} \)), ...
