Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

At a given temperature, a system of particles can be considered as point masses (m) each moving at a certain translational velocity (v). The motion of these particles can be defined in terms of their average translational kinetic energy which is responsible for the heat transfer during molecular collisions and therefore the temperature of the system.

The kinetic temperature T is given in terms of the average translational kinetic energy as:

T  = 2/3k(Kinetic energy)

T = 2/3k(1/2*m*v²)

where K = Boltzmann constant

Ans: C) Average translational kinetic energy
