One mole of oxygen at \(273 \mathrm{~K}\) and one mole of sulphur dioxide at \(546 \mathrm{~K}\) are taken in two separate containers, then

  1. A kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}>\) kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\)
  2. B kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{O}_{2} < \) kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\)
  3. C kinetic energy of both are equal
  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{O}_{2} < \) kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is diatomic and degree of freedom is 5 . \(\therefore\) Kinetic energy of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}=\frac{5}{2} \times k \times T\) \[ =\frac{5}{2} \times 273 \times k \] \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) is triatomic and degree of freedom is \(7 .\) \(\therefore\) Kinetic energy of…
