KCET · Physics · Kinetic Theory of Gases

At \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) temperature, the mean kinetic energy of the atoms of an ideal gas is \(\mathrm{E}_1\). If the temperature is increased to \(327^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), then the mean kinetic energy of the atoms will be

  1. A \(\frac{E_1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{2} \mathrm{E}_1\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{E}_1\)
  4. D \(\frac{E_1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{E}_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

KE mean \(\propto \mathrm{T}\). ( \(\mathrm{T} \rightarrow\) temperature in Klevin)
\(\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}_2=\mathrm{E}_1 \frac{\mathrm{~T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1} \\ & =\mathrm{E}_1\left(\frac{327+273}{27+273}\right) \\ & =\mathrm{E}_1\left(\frac{600}{300}\right)=2 \mathrm{E}_1\end{aligned}\)
