The average translational kinetic energy of O2 (molar mass 32) molecules at a particular temperature is 0.048 eV. The translational kinetic energy of N2 (molar mass 28) molecules in eV at the same temperature is
A
0.0015
B
0.003
C
0.048
D
0.768
Answer
0.048
Explanation
Solution
Average translational kinetic energy does not depends upon the molar mass of the gas. Different gases will possess same average translational kinetic energy at same temperature.
