Internal energy at a specific state can't be calculated but by kinetic theory of gases and law of equipartition of energy Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.And for an ideal gas internal energy is due to kinetic energy only for an ideal gas potential energy can be neglected It means internal energy is a function of temperature only. It gives equation
KE=(3/2)RT it is for monoatomic gas (from kinetic theory of gases)
U=(f/2)RT from law of equipartition of energy
Here f is no. Of degrees of freedom
so why can't we find internal energy at a particular state?
