At what temperature does the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in a gas becomes equal to kinetic energy of an electron accelerated from rest through potential difference of ' V ' volt? ( N = Avogadro number, R = gas constant, e = electronic charge )
Options
- A2 eVN 3 R
- BeVN R
- CeVN 4 R
- D3 eVN 2 R
Correct answer
A. 2 eVN 3 R
Step-by-step solution
The average translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule = 3 2 kT = 3 2 R N T The kinetic energy of a electrons accelerated by a p.d. of V volts aligned & = eV & 3 2 RT N = eV & T = 2 eVN 3 R aligned
