The correct Answer is:
To calculate the temperature of an oxygen molecule given its kinetic energy, we can use the formula for the kinetic energy of a molecule in terms of temperature: \[ E = \frac{3}{2} k_B T \] Where: - \(E\) is the kinetic energy, - \(k_B\) is Boltzmann's constant, - \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Kinetic energy \(E = 6.27 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{J}\) - Boltzmann's constant \(k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, \text{J/K}\) 2. **Rearrange the formula to solve for temperature \(T\)**: \[ T = \frac{2E}{3k_B} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the equation**: \[ T = \frac{2 \times (6.27 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{J})}{3 \times (1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, \text{J/K})} \] 4. **Calculate the numerator**: \[ 2 \times (6.27 \times 10^{-31}) = 1.254 \times 10^{-30} \, \text{J} \] 5. **Calculate the denominator**: \[ 3 \times (1.38 \times 10^{-23}) = 4.14 \times 10^{-23} \, \text{J/K} \] 6. **Divide the numerator by the denominator to find \(T\)**: \[ T = \frac{1.254 \times 10^{-30}}{4.14 \times 10^{-23}} \approx 303 \, \text{K} \] ### Final Answer: The temperature \(T\) is approximately \(303 \, \text{K}\). ---
