Question

A polyatomic gas with n degrees of freedom has a mean energy per molecule given by

Answer 1

Hey dear,

● Answer - nkT/2

● Law of equipartition of energy-
- For a system in equilibrium law of equipartition states that total energy of the system is equally divided among degrees of freedom.
- According to this, kinetic energy per degree of freedom will be kT/2
- A polyatomic gas with n degrees of freedom has a mean energy per molecule is calculated by
n × kT/2 = nkT/2

Hope this is useful...
