Pressure & Kinetic Energy of a Gas

The kinetic energy of an ideal gas is E0E_0 at 27∘27^\circC. When the temperature is increased to 177∘177^\circC, then kinetic energy will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. KE ∝T\propto T (kelvin).
  2. T1=300T_1 = 300 K, T2=177+273=450T_2 = 177 + 273 = 450 K
  3. E=E0×450300=32E0E = E_0 \times \frac{450}{300} = \frac{3}{2}E_0
  4. So the answer is (c) 3E0/23E_0/2.
