Answer:

False

Explanation:

The relevant equation is KE = 3/2 RT. KE is kinetic energy, which must have the proper units for energy. The gas constant listed in the problem does not result in the proper units

The proper way to find the average kinetic energy of a volume of gas is to multiply the following: 3/2, temperature (in Kelvin) and the gas constant 8.314 JK⁻¹mol⁻¹. This will result in the the kinetic energy having the acceptable units of J/mol.
