COMEDK2023PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
The gases carbon monoxide ( CO ) and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies E₁ and E₂ , respectively. Then,
Options
- AE₁=E₂
- BE₁>E₂
- CE₁ < E₂
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. E₁=E₂
Step-by-step solution
The gases carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen ( N ₂ ) are diatomic, so both have equal kinetic energy 5 2 K T , i.e. E₁=E₂
