| $5.6.3.$ The air in the room was heated from the temperature T_0 to T. At the same | |||
| time, the pressure did not change. Has the internal energy of the air inside | |||

| Assuming we're working with ideal gases\ | |||

| Careful here, we could think that obviously if the temperature increases, the internal energy increases too, let's think this\ | |||
| We have\ | |||
| $PV=nRT=const$, because P and V are both constant\ | |||
| but this is only possible if n changed (air can escape), because if n is constant, the product nRT would vary with T, contradicting that PV is constant\ | |||

| $U=n_0 C_v T_0$ , which is exactly the initial energy $U_0$\ | |||
