Question

Two flasks A and B of equal volumes maintained at
temperatures 300K and 600K contain equal mass of H₂ and
CH₄ respectively. The ratio of total translational kinetic
energy of gas in flask A to that in flask B is
(a) unity (b) 2 (c) 4 (c) 0.25

Answer 1

Therefore the ratio of total translation  kinetic energy gas in flask A of that in flask B is =0.5

Explanation:

The translation kinetic energy $=\frac{3}{2} K_BT$

The translation kinetic energy directly proportional to the temperature.

K.E ∝ T

Therefore the ratio of total translation  kinetic energy gas in flask A of that in flask B is = 300:600= 0.5
