Question

Which of the following expressions correctly represents the relationship between the average molar kinetic energies `(KE)` of `CO` and `N_(2)` molecules at the same temperature?
A. `overline(KE)_(CO)=overline(KE)_(N_(2))`
B. `overline(KE)_(CO)gtoverline(KE)_(N_(2))`
C. `overline(KE)_(CO)lt overline(KE)_(N_(2))`
D. All of the above

Answer 1

`overline(KE)_(CO)=overline(KE)_(N_(2))`, because
Average `overline(KE)=(3)/(2)RT`. It does not depend upon the nature of the gas.
