The discussion focuses on calculating the average velocity of neon gas molecules when the temperature changes from 273 K to 373 K while maintaining constant volume. The relevant equation used is U = (3/2)vRT, where U represents internal energy, v is the average velocity, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. The change in internal energy (ΔU) is derived from the heat added to the system (ΔQ), as no work is done (ΔW = 0). Understanding the relationship between temperature and molecular speed is crucial for solving this problem.

How can I find the ΔQ?Noctisdark said:ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW, since no work was done by/to the system then ΔW = 0, and you're left with ΔU = ΔQ !
Hope this help :) !
