    If heat is added at constant volume, $6300\,\,J$ of heat are required to raise the temperature of an ideal gas by $150\,\,K$. If instead, heat is added at constant pressure, $8800$ joules are required for the same temperature change. When the temperature of the gas changes by $300\,\,K$, the internal energy of the gas changes by ..... $J$
