Heat and Thermodynamics 4 Question 25
27. The average translational kinetic energy of (molar mass 32) molecules at a particular temperature is . The translational kinetic energy of (molar mass 28) molecules in at the same temperature is
(1997, 1M)
(a) 0.0015
(b) 0.003
(c) 0.048
(d) 0.768
Show Answer
Solution:
- Average translational kinetic energy of an ideal gas molecule is
which depends on temperature only.
Therefore, if temperature is same, translational kinetic energy of
