Molecular Speeds & Maxwell Distribution

The parameter that remains the same for molecules of all gases at a given temperature is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Average KE per molecule =32kT= \frac{3}{2}kT (translational) is the same for all gases at the same TT.
  2. Mass, momentum and speed depend on the molecular mass.
  3. So the answer is (a) kinetic energy.
