What is the kinetic energy of the maximum fraction of molecules in the kinetic energy distribution?
Options
- AThe lowest kinetic energy
- BThe highest kinetic energy
- CThe average kinetic energy
- DThe total kinetic energy
Correct answer
C. The average kinetic energy
Step-by-step solution
The peak of the curve in the kinetic energy distribution corresponds to the kinetic energy of the maximum fraction of molecules, which is the average kinetic energy.
