The factor by which the average kinetic energy decreases when oxygen gas is cooled from
Concept Introduction :
The kinetic theory of gases is a theoretical model, to characterize the molecular makeup of the gas. It is a theory that describes the
Answer to Problem 8LC
The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the Kinetic temperature.
Explanation of Solution
The expression for average kinetic energy is as follows:
Here,
Now, calculate the average kinetic energy at
Now, calculate the average kinetic energy at
Now, calculate the difference in average kinetic energy,
Now, calculate the factor by which the average kinetic energy decreases as follows:
Thus, the average kinetic energy become half of the initial average kinetic energy.
