Question

What is the Celsius temperature of 1 mole of a gas that has an average kinetic energy of 4,290 joules?

Answer 1

\(\large KE_{avg} = \dfrac{3}{2}RnT\)

\(R = universal~gas ~constant = 8.31 \dfrac{J}{K \cdot mol} \)
\(n = number~of~moles\)
\(T = temperature~in~Kelvin\)

Use the formula to find the Kelvin temperature, and then convert to Celsius.

Answer 2

thanks, i was forgetting to convert to kelvin

Answer 3

You're welcome.
