Internal energy of n moles of an ideal gas at temperature \mathrm{T}is given by
 
\mathrm{U}=\mathrm{n}\left(\frac{f}{2} R T\right)

where  \mathrm{f}= degrees of freedom.
               =5 \text { for } \mathrm{O}_{2} \text { and } 3 \text { for } \mathrm{Ar}

Hence,\mathrm{U} =U_{o_{2}}+U_{\mathrm{Ar}}
\mathrm{=4\left(\frac{5}{2} R T\right)+10\left(\frac{3}{2} R T\right)=25\mathrm{RT}}
