As we learnt in

Total internal energy -

$U= U_{K}+U_{P}$

- wherein

Change in internal energy

$\Delta U= n\frac{f}{2}R\Delta T$

(Always)

$f$ is degree of freedom

$pv =nRT$

$T = \frac{PV}{nR}$

$\Delta v =n C_{v}\Delta T = n \frac{R}{r-1}.\left ( T_{f}-T_{i} \right )$

or

$\Delta v = \frac{1}{r-1}.\left ( nRT_{f} -nRT_{i} \right )$

$= \frac{P_{f}v_{f}-P_{i}v_{i}}{r-1}$

$= \frac{2\times 10^{3}\times 6-5\times 10^{3}\times 4}{\frac{7}{5}-1}$

$= \frac{8\times 10^{3}}{\left ( \frac{2}{5} \right )}J$ $= 20KJ$
