The gas of oxygen at temperature 100 °C can be treated as ideal gas.
(a)What is the internal energy of the gas?
(b) what is the average translational kinetic energy for each of the oxygen molecule?

of freedom only. No vibration motion is considered) Boltzmann constant is kg = 1.38 × 10-23J/K

To give a helium atom nonzero angular momentum requires about 21.2 eV of energy (that is, 21.2 eV is the difference between the energies of the lowest-energy or ground state and the lowest-energy state with angular momentum). The electron-volt or eV is defined as 1.60 × 10−19 J. Find the temperature T where this amount of energy equals kB T/2. Does this explain why we can ignore the rotational energy of helium for most purposes? (The results for other monatomic gases, and for diatomic gases rotating around the axis connecting the two atoms, have comparable orders of magnitude.)

In metals, apart from transferring heat energy by the relatively slow process of molecular collision, another faster process of free electron diffusion takes place.
