Question

How much kinetic energy does a system containing 5 moles of an ideal gas at 300.00 K possess? (decimal only)

Answer 1

Answer:

$K=18.70kJ$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an ideal gas is defined as:

$K=\frac{3}{2}nRT$

Here n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature of the gas. So, replacing the given values, we get the kinetic energy of the system:

$K=\frac{3(5mol)(8.31\frac{J}{mol\cdot K})(300K)}{2}\\K=18697.5J=18.70kJ$
