The temperature at which the kinetic energy of oxygen molecules becomes double than its value at 27 ° C is
Options
- A927 ° C
- B327 ° C
- C1227 ° C
- D627 ° C
Correct answer
B. 327 ° C
Step-by-step solution
The kinetic energy is given by K E = f 2 k T . Let the kinetic energy be K 1 at 27   ° C and the kinetic energy be K ' at T ' temperature. As given in the question, K ' = 2 K 1 . Hence, K ' K 1 = T ' T ⇒ 2 = T ' 300 ⇒ T ' = 600   K In Celsius the temperature is T ' - 273 = 327   ° C .
