Physics Question on Kinetic molecular theory of gases
The kinetic energy of 4 moles of nitrogen gas at 127oC is ...... cals. (R= 2 cal mol−1K−1)
A
4400
B
3200
C
4800
D
1524
Answer
4800
Explanation
Solution
E=23nRT Where, E = Kinetic energy n = number of moles = 4 R = Gas constant =2cal/mol/K T = Temperature in Kelvin = 127 + 273 = 400K E=23×4×2×400 = 4800 calorie
