kinetic energy of a diatomic gas like Chlorine actually be 5/2kbT.
Explanation:
According to the kinetic theory of gases, the kinetic energy of diatomic is given by 3/2kbT, where kb is the Boltzmann Constant.
As we know that diatomic gas has 5 degrees of freedom (3 are translational and 2 are rotational), and according to the Law of Equipartition of Energy, each degree of freedom contributes an energy of 1/2kbT. So, shouldn't the kinetic energy of a diatomic gas actually be 5/2kbT.
