The temperature of argon, kept in a vessel is raised by 10C at a constant volume. The total heat supplied to the gas is a combination of translational and rotational energies. Their respective shares are
A
60% and 40%
B
40% and 60%
C
50% and 50%
D
100% and 0%
Answer
100% and 0%
Explanation
Solution
As argon is a monoatomic gas therefore its molecule will possess only translatory kinetic energy i.e. the share of translational and rotational energies will be 100% and 0% respectively.
