Detailed Solution

Energy of 1 mole of gas =f2RT=f2PV

where f = Degree of freedom

Monoatomic or diatomic both gases possess equal degree of freedom for translational motion and that is equal to 3 i.e. f=3

E=32PV

Although total energy will be different,

For monoatomic gas Etotal=32PV [As f=3]

For diatomic gas Etotal=52PV [As f=5]
