Sorry for being so cryptic. I misread your post - I thought that you were saying the answer was 7, which obviously it isn't! Your answer is correct.dismalice said:

The internal energy of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Therefore, a 35% reduction in internal energy will result in a 35% reduction temperature. Unless there is more information that you have provided us with, that is the answer.dismalice said:

Thermal energy is the energy that is generated by the movement of particles within a substance. It is also known as heat energy and is a form of kinetic energy.
Thermal energy is measured in units of joules (J) or calories (cal). It can also be measured in units of temperature, such as degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Examples of thermal energy include the heat from the sun, the warmth from a fire, the heat from a hot cup of coffee, and the warmth of your body. Any object that has a temperature above absolute zero has thermal energy.
Thermal energy can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact, convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of fluids, and radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through electromagnetic waves.
Thermal energy and temperature are related, but they are not the same thing. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance. In other words, temperature measures the intensity of heat, while thermal energy measures the quantity of heat.
