Give an equation to calculate the kinetic energy of gas molecules.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The kinetic energy of gas
`E_k=3/2nRT`
`E_t`= kinetic energy,
R= Gas constant,
T= Absolute temperature,
n= Number of moles
The kinetic energy for one molecule of gas
`E_k/N=3/2(R/N)T=3/2kT`
k is called Boltzmann constant and equal to `R/N`.
