A gas has volume `V` and pressure `p`. The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of the gas is

A

`(3)/(2) pV` only if the gas is monoatomic

B

`(3)/ pV` only if the gas is diatomic

C

`gt (3)/(2)pV` if the gas is diatomic

D

`(3)/(2) pV` in all classes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Total translational `K.E. = (3)/(2) RT = (3)/(2) pV`
