The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct statement about the kinetic energy of gas molecules, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Kinetic Energy in Gases:** - The kinetic energy of gas molecules is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - Here, \(m\) is the mass of the molecule and \(v\) is its velocity. 2. **Analyzing the First Option:** - The first option states that "at constant temperature, the kinetic energy of all the gas molecules is the same." - This statement is incorrect because, although the average kinetic energy of gas molecules at a given temperature remains constant, individual molecules can have different kinetic energies due to variations in their velocities. 3. **Analyzing the Second Option:** - The second option states that "at constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is the same." - This statement is correct. At a constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is constant and is directly proportional to the temperature. 4. **Analyzing the Third Option:** - The third option states that "at constant temperature, the kinetic energy is less for heavier gas molecules." - This statement is incorrect. While heavier gas molecules have a greater mass, they can have higher kinetic energy if their velocity is sufficiently high. The average kinetic energy is dependent on temperature, not directly on mass. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Option:** - The fourth option is similar to the third and states that "heavier gas molecules have less kinetic energy." - This statement is also incorrect for the same reasons as the third option. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity. 6. **Conclusion:** - After analyzing all the options, the only correct statement is option 2, which asserts that at constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is the same. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is **Option 2**: At constant temperature, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is the same.
