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
- DE₁ and E₂ cannot be compared
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 , ie, E₁=E₂ .
