Calculate the total and average kinetic energy of 32 g of methane molecules at `27^(@)C. (R="8.314 J K"^(-1)"mol"^(-1))`.

Explanation

To calculate the total and average kinetic energy of 32 g of methane (CH₄) at 27°C, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the temperature to Kelvin
The temperature in Celsius is given as 27°C. To convert this to Kelvin, we use the formula:
\[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 \]
Thus,
\[ T = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 \, K \]
For simplicity, we can round this to 300 K.
