The kinetic energy of an ideal gas is E₀ at 27^ C . When the temperature is increased to 177^ C , then kinetic energy will be
Options
- AE₀ / 2
- B2E₀ / 3
- C3E₀ / 2
- D2E₀
Correct answer
C. 3E₀ / 2
Step-by-step solution
The kinetic energy of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. E T Initial temperature T₁ = 27^ C = 27 + 273 = 300 K Final temperature T₂ = 177^ C = 177 + 273 = 450 K Using the relation E₁ T₁ = E₂ T₂ : E₀ 300 = E₂ 450 E₂ = E₀ 450 300 = 3E₀ 2 Answer: 3E₀ / 2
