Answer:
The average KE = 312 J/mol
Explanation:
Given:
Temperature of the gas, T = 285 K
Gas constant, R = 8.314 J/K-mol
To determine:
The average kinetic energy of the gas
Explanation:
Based on the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy is given as:
[tex]KE = \frac{3}{2} RT\\[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]KE = \frac{3}{2} *8.314\ J/K-mol * 285\ K = 312 J/mol[/tex]
