COMEDK · Physics · 14. Kinetic Theory of Gases
The gases carbon monoxide \((\mathrm{CO})\) and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies \(E_1\) and \(E_2\), respectively. Then,
- A \(E_1=E_2\)
- B \(E_1< E_2\)
- C None of these
- D \(E_1> E_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(E_1=E_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given by the formula \(E = \dfrac{3}{2} k_B T\), where \(k_B\) is the Boltzmann constant and \(T\) is the absolute temperature of the gas. Since both carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen (\(N_2\)) are at the same temperature \(T\),…
