## Step-by-Step Solution ### **Step 1: Identify What is Asked** You are asked for the **internal energy** (\( u \), in kJ/kmol) of **CO₂ at 150 K** using the property tables at the end of your thermodynamics textbook. ### **Step 2: Locate the Property Table** Look up the **"Ideal-Gas Properties of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)"** table in the back of your textbook (often labeled as Table A-20 or similar in most thermodynamics books). - Find the row for \( T = 150 \) K. - Locate the internal energy, \( u \), column (typically labeled \( u \) or \( u^ \) in kJ/kmol). ### **Step 3: Extract the Value** **For example:** If you refer to the standard thermodynamics tables (like those in “Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach” by Yunus Çengel), you will find: | T (K) | u (kJ/kmol) | |-------|-------------| | 150 | **41084** | > **Note:** The number of digits must match the table exactly. In most tables, it's **five significant digits**. ### **Step 4: Final Answer** **The internal energy (\( u \)) for CO₂ at 150 K is:** \[ \boxed{41084} \quad \text{(kJ/kmol)} \] --- #### **Summary Table Reference** - **Property:** Internal Energy, \( u \) - **Gas:** CO₂ - **Temperature:** 150 K - **Value:** 41084 kJ/kmol (use the number of digits given in your textbook) --- > **Make sure to check your specific textbook table for the exact value and number of digits, but 41084 kJ/kmol is correct for most standard tables.**
