(N/A) The internal energy of a monoatomic gas is given by $U = \frac{3}{2} nRT$,where $n$ is the number of moles,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.
Given:
$n = 5.0$ moles
$T = 7^{\circ} C = 7 + 273 = 280 \ K$
$N_{A} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ \text{atoms/mol}$
$R = 8.314 \ J/(mol \cdot K)$
$(a)$ Number of helium atoms:
$N = n \times N_{A} = 5.0 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 3.011 \times 10^{24} \ \text{atoms}$.
$(b)$ Total internal energy of the system:
$U = \frac{3}{2} nRT = \frac{3}{2} \times 5.0 \times 8.314 \times 280$
$U = 1.5 \times 5.0 \times 8.314 \times 280 = 17459.4 \ J \approx 1.75 \times 10^{4} \ J$.

The molecules of air in the room where you are sitting are all experiencing the force of gravity tending to bring them down. The molecules are also frequently and randomly undergoing collisions,which tend to oppose the effect of the fall under gravity. The density of air is nearly uniform throughout the room because:
