Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the average kinetic energy of one mole of an ideal gas at temperature T?
  • Step 1: Understand that kinetic energy is the energy of motion. For gases, this energy is related to the temperature.
  • Step 2: Know that the average kinetic energy of gas particles increases with temperature.
  • Step 3: Learn the formula for the average kinetic energy of one mole of an ideal gas: KE = (3/2)RT.
  • Step 4: Identify R as the gas constant, which is approximately 8.314 J/(mol·K).
  • Step 5: Recognize that T is the temperature measured in Kelvin (K).
  • Step 6: Use the formula to calculate the average kinetic energy by plugging in the values for R and T.
