At 298 ~K , assuming ideal behaviour, the average kinetic energy of a deuterium molecule is
Options
- Atwo times that of a hydrogen molecule
- Bfour times that of a hydrogen molecule
- Chalf of that of a hydrogen molecule
- Dsame as that of a hydrogen molecule
Correct answer
D. same as that of a hydrogen molecule
Step-by-step solution
( K . E .)_ average = 3 2 kT i.e., average kinetic energy depends only on temperature.
