COMEDK · Physics · 14. Kinetic Theory of Gases

The average energy of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at \(300 \mathrm{~K}\) is \(6.21 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\). The corresponding values at \(600 \mathrm{~K}\) are

  1. A \(12.12 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(8.78 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(6.21 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(12.42 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(12.42 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At temperature, \(T_{1}=300 \mathrm{~K}\) Average kinetic energy, \(E_{1}=6.21 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\) \[ \therefore \quad T_{2}=600 \mathrm{~K}, E_{2}=\text { ? } \] We know that, average kinetic energy of gas molecule,…
