Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4102.8 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy of translation \(=\frac{3}{2} n R T\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& n=\frac{50 \mathrm{~g}}{44 \mathrm{~g}}=\frac{25}{22} \mathrm{~mol} \\
& T=17^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=290 \mathrm{~K}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Kinetic energy of translation
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{25}{22}\right)(8.3)(290) \mathrm{J} \\
& =4102.8 \mathrm{~J}
\end{aligned}\)
