Answer:
Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):
After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:
Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:
Whereas stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:
In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.
Regards.
