Helium atom is two times heavier than a ...

Helium atom is two times heavier than a hydrogen molecule. At 289 K, the average kinetic energy of a helium atom is

A

two times that of hydrogen molecule.

B

same as that of a hydrogen molecule.

C

four times that of a hydrogen molecule.

D

half that of a hydrogen molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The average kinetic energy of an atom is given as `(3)/(2)`kT . It does not depend on mass of the atom.
