Two moles of an ideal gas are placed in a container whose volume is 8.2 10-3 m3. The absolute pressure of the gas is 2.7 105 Pa. What is the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check the units of Boltzmann's constant and that should be a clue.

OpenStudy (shamim):

u know translational kinetic energy of 1 mole is\[E=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }RT\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

here R=boltzman constant T=temperature in kelvin scale

OpenStudy (shamim):

R=8.31

OpenStudy (shamim):

T=?

OpenStudy (shamim):

given that n=2 vollume \[V=8.2 \times 10^{-3} m ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

pressure \[P=2.7105 pa\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

anyway mole nomber =n=2 mole

OpenStudy (shamim):

now we know that \[PV=nRT\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

\[or, T=\frac{ PV }{ nR }\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

i think u will b able to solve it now. if u need any explanation plz ask me
