At what temperature the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a perfect gas be doubled than that at `20^@C`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `T_1=20^@C=293K`
As average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas the required temperature,
`T_2=2 times 293=586 K=(586-273)^@C=313^@C`
