JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

The temperature of a gas is \(-78^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules is \(\mathrm{K}\). The temperature at which the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules of the same gas becomes \(2 \mathrm{~K}\) is _______.

  1. A \(-39^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(117^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(127^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(-78^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(117^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{nf}_1 \mathrm{RT}}{2}\) \(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{i}}=-78^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \rightarrow 273+\left[-78^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right]=195 \mathrm{~K}\) \(\mathrm{~K} . \mathrm{E} \alpha \mathrm{T}\) To double the \(K.E\) energy temp also become…
