Calculate the average kinetic energy of ...

Calculate the average kinetic energy of `8 g` molecules of methane at `27^(@)C` in joule. `(R=8.314 JK^(-1) mol^(-1))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total kinetic energy `=n((3)/(2)RT)`
when `n` is the number of moles
Moles of methane `=(W)/(Molar weight)=(8)/(16)=0.5 mol`
`:. KE=0.5xx(3)/(2)xx8.314xx300=1870.65 J`
Therefore, average kinetic energy is
`=(1870.65)/(6.023xx10^(23)xx0.5)=6.21xx10^(-21)J`
