Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 71

Question: Which of the following will have maximum total kinetic energy at temperature 300K?

Options:

A) $ 1kgH _{2} $

B) $ 1kgHe $

C) $ \frac{1}{2}1kgH _{2}+\frac{1}{2}1kgHe $

D) $ \frac{1}{4}1kgH _{2}+\frac{3}{4}1kgHe $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Total Kinetic Energy $ =U=\frac{f}{2}nRT $ In case of $ H _{2} $ degree of freedom is greatest and number of moles n is highest. So this is the case of maximum kinetic energy
