Question

Which of the following gases would have the greatest kinetic energy at 300 K?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. All of them would have the same kinetic energy

Explanation:

The expression for the kinetic energy of the gas is:-

$K.E.=\frac{3}{2}\times K\times T$

k is Boltzmann's constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

T is the temperature

Since, kinetic energy depends only on the temperature. Thus, at same temperature, at 300 K, all the gases which are $N_2,\ NH_3\ and\ Ar$ will posses same value of kinetic energy.
