QuestionGaseous state / kinetic energy
At what temperature does the total kinetic energy of 0.3 mole of Helium equals the total kinetic energy of 0.4 mole of Argon at 400 K?
- (a) 533.3 K
- (b) 433.3 K
- (c) 346.3 K
- (d) 373.0 K
Answer: (a) 533.3 K
Total KE = (3/2) nRT (independent of M). 0.3 × T = 0.4 × 400 → T = 533.3 K → (a).
