    The kinetic energy of 1 g molecule of a gas, at normal temperature and pressure is:\[\text{(R}\,\text{=}\,\text{8}\text{.321}\,\text{J/mol-K)}\]

    A) \[1.2\times {{10}^{2}}J\]

    B) \[3.4\times {{10}^{3}}J\]

    C)  \[1.66\times {{10}^{4}}J\]

    D)  \[2.97\times {{10}^{4}}J\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Average kinetic energy per molecule is equal to product of mass. of 1 g molecule and square of mean square velocity. The kinetic energy of 1g-mol is \[E=\frac{1}{2}M{{\bar{v}}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}M\left( \frac{3RT}{M} \right)\] \[\left[ \because \,\bar{v}\,=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \right]\] \[E=\frac{3}{2}RT\] where R is gas constant. Putting the numerical values, we have \[E=\frac{3}{2}\times 8.31\times 273=3.4\times {{10}^{3}}J\]
