Question

Calculate the average translational kinetic energy (sometimes just called average kinetic energy)...
for one mole of gas at 501 K.

Answer 1

You can calculate this using:

\[KE=\frac{3}{2}kT\]
Where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature!

Answer 2

can you redo that equation?

Answer 3

KE=1.5kT

Answer 4

so variable is what?

Answer 5

KE is the kinetic energy - that's what you're solving for. The question gives you the temperature (T), and you probably have the Boltzmann constant (k) in your notes somewhere (or just look it up).
