Question

average kinetic energy of 1 mole of so2 at 300 k

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Formula used for calculating average kinetic energy is as follows:

• 3 / 2 nRT

Where,

• n = Number of moles
• R = Gas constant
• T = Temperature

According to the question,

• n = 1 mole
• R = 8.314 J / mol
• T = 300 K

Substituting them in the formula we get,

Avg Kinetic Energy = 3 / 2 ( 1 * 8.314 * 300 )

=> Avg Kinetic Energy = 3 / 2 * 2494.2

=> Avg Kinetic Energy = 3741.3 or 3741 J ( Approx )

Hope my answer helped !
