A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour at its boiling point. On average, the molecules in the two phases have equal

A

Intermolecular

B

kinetic energy

C

Total energy

D

Potential energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`KE` of gas and liquid molecules at any temperature is given by `(3)/(2)RT`. At equilibrium both have same `T` and thus same `KE`.
