The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ
<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>
This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
KE = ½mv²
Where
- KE is the kinetic energy
- m is the mass
- v is the velocity
<h3>How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas</h3>
- Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
- Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
- Mass of fluorine gas = ?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38
Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g
<h3>How to determine the KE of the gas sample</h3>
- Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
- Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
- Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²
KE = 3272.275 J
Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule
KE = 3272.275 / 1000
KE = 3.3 KJ
