Argon gas is heated at constant volume through `1^(@)C`. The heat supplied to a gas is used to increase the translational and rotational kinetic energies of the gas molecules. What is the percentage share of translational and rotational kinetic energies of the molecules of Argon ?

A

60% and 40%

B

40% and 60%

C

50% and 50%

D

100% and 0%

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since Argon is a monoatomic gas the heat supplied is used to increase its translational K.E. only. There is no rotational K.E.
`therefore` The shares of translational and rotational K.E. will be 100% and 0%.
