Explanation

**Ideal gas internal energy** proportional to temperature, U = (f/2) R T per mole, monatomic 3/2 R T, diatomic 5/2 R T, change ΔU = f/2 n R ΔT, for temperature increase internal energy rises, explaining why heating gas at constant volume raises U entirely as heat. Number of moles (μ) = VolumeMolar volume = (33.6)/(22.4) = 1.5 mol.Number of molecules = μ × N_A = 1.5 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 9.03 × 10²³. Substituting values gives 9.03 × 10²³, which matches expected kinetic theory result, confirming mean free path λ = 1/(√2 n π d²), ideal gas law P V = n R
