Find the total translational kinetic energy of 1.5 L of oxygen gas held at a temperature of -6◦C and a pressure of 3 atm. Answer in units of J.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Translational kinetic energy of oxygen gas is 675 J

Explanation:

As we know that translational kinetic energy of ideal gas is given as

[tex]E = \frac{3}{2} nRT[/tex]

also by ideal gas equation we know that

[tex]PV = nRT[/tex]

so we have

[tex]E = \frac{3}{2}PV[/tex]

now we have

[tex]E = \frac{3}{2}(3 \times 10^5)(1.5 \times 10^{-3})[/tex]

so we have

[tex]E = 675 J[/tex]
