The mean kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at \(399^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is ' E '. The temperature at which the mean kinetic energy of its molecules will be ' \(E / 2\) ', is

  1. A \(336^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(276^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(123^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(63^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(63^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( T_1 = 399 + 273 = 672 \mathrm{K} \) \( K \propto T \implies \frac{E/2}{E} = \frac{T_2}{T_1} \)
