If the kinetic energy in \(\mathrm{J}\), of \(\mathrm{CH}_4\) (molar mass \(=16 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) at \(T(\mathrm{~K})\) is \(X\), the kinetic energy in \(\mathrm{J}\), of \(\mathrm{O}_2\) (molar mass \(=32 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) ) at the same temperature is

  1. A \(x\)
  2. B \(2 X\)
  3. C \(X^2\)
  4. D \(\frac{X}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At same temperature, kinetic energy of both the gases will be same. In short \[ \begin{array}{lc} \because & \mathrm{KE} \propto \sqrt{T} \\ \therefore & \mathrm{KE}_{\left(\mathrm{CH}_4\right)}=\mathrm{KE}_{\left(\mathrm{O}_2\right)}=X \end{array} \] (for all gases)
