🤖 AI Direct Answer & Quick Concept Summary

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. For an ideal gas, the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, given by $KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$. Problems often involve relating kinetic energy to temperature, pressure, and molecular speeds.

⚡ High-Yield Exam Rules & Formulas:
  • Average Translational Kinetic Energy: $KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$
  • Pressure of an Ideal Gas: $P = \frac{1}{3} \rho v_{rms}^2$
  • Energy per Degree of Freedom (Equipartition Theorem): $\frac{1}{2} k_B T$
  • RMS Speed: $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{3k_B T}{m}}$
🎯 DPP & Worksheet Scope: This DPP covers conceptual questions on the kinetic theory of gases, numerical problems involving pressure, volume, temperature, and molecular speeds, and calculations of rotational and translational kinetic energy for various gas types.

Correct Option: (A)
$4.14 \times 10^{-15} {~Pa}$ We know that the gas pressure is given as $P = \frac{1}{3} \rho v_{r m s}^{2}$ Now we can write the density of gas as $\rho = m_{0} \&\text{nbsp}; N$, where $m_{0}$ is the mass of the gas molecule and _N_ is the number of molecules in $1 \text{ } m^{3}$ of the gas. In the present case, $N = 100 \times 1 0^{6}$ Or $P = \frac{1}{3} \left(100 \times 1 0^{6}\right) m_{0} v_{r m s}^{2}$ As we know _rms_ velocity of gas molecules is given as $v_{r m s} = \sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}} = \sqrt{\frac{3 k T}{m_{0}}} \left[A s M = m_{0} N_{a v} \&\text{nbsp};\&\text{nbsp}; a n d \&\text{nbsp}; \frac{R}{N_{A v}} = k\right]$ So we have $P = \frac{1}{3} \times \left(100 \times 1 0^{6}\right) \times 3 k T \left(a s \&\text{nbsp}; T = 3 k\right)$ $P = 4.14 \times 1 0^{- 15} \&\text{nbsp}; P a$

👉 View Correct Answer & Step-by-Step Solution (Option A)
Correct Option: (A)
uniform everywhere. When gas is filled in a closed container, it exerts pressure on the walls of the vessel. According to kinetic theory, this pressure is developed due to the collisions of the moving molecules on the walls of the vessels. Whenever a molecule collides with the wall, it returns with changed momentum, and an equal momentum is transferred to the wall. According to Newton’s law of motion, the rate of change of momentum of the ball is equal to the force exerted on the wall. Since the gas contains many molecules that are colliding with the walls of the vessel, they exert a steady force on the walls. This force measured per unit area gives pressure, which is the same as the molecules are moving in the horizontal direction with constant acceleration.

remains unchanged. According to kinetic theory, molecules of a liquid are in a state of continuous random motion. They continuously collide against the walls of the container. During each collision, certain momentum is transferred to the walls of the container. So, kinetic energy of molecules increases, hence due to random motion, the temperature increase. So, random motion of molecules and not ordered motion cause rise of temperature.

Correct Option: (D)
6167.831 J Given values from the question: Mass of $\text{CO}_{2}$ = 75 g Temperature = $17^{\circ}\text{C}$ We will also use the following constants: Molar mass of $\text{CO}_{2}$ (M) = 44 g/mol Universal gas constant (R) = 8.314 J/(mol·K) The formula for the translational kinetic energy of a gas is given by: $ KE_{\text{trans}} = \frac{3}{2} nRT\!$ where 'n' is the number of moles and 'T' is the absolute temperature in Kelvin. Step 1: Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin. $T(K)=T(^{\circ}\text{C})+273.15=17+273.15=290.15\!$ Step 2: Calculate the number of moles (n) of $\text{CO}_{2}$. Using the formula for 1.705: $n=\frac{\text{Given Mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}=\frac{75}{44}=1.705\!$ The number of moles is 1.705. Step 3: Calculate the translational kinetic energy. Now, substitute all the values into the kinetic energy formula : $KE_{\text{trans}}=\frac{3}{2}\ \times\ 1.705\ \times\ 8.314\ \times\ 290.15=6167.831\ J\!$ The calculated translational kinetic energy is 6167.831 J.

👉 View Correct Answer & Step-by-Step Solution (Option B)
Correct Option: (B)
$315 ^{\circ} C$ The average kinetic energy (KE) of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature in Kelvin. i.e. $ KE \propto T\!$ This means that to double the kinetic energy, the absolute temperature must also be doubled. Given the initial temperature: $T_{initial}=21^{\circ}\text{C}\!$ Step 1: Convert the initial temperature from Celsius to Kelvin. Using : $T(K)=T(^{\circ}\text{C})+273\!$ $\Rightarrow T_{initial}(K)=21+273=294\ \!$ The initial temperature is 294 K. Step 2: Calculate the final absolute temperature required to double the kinetic energy. $\Rightarrow T_{final}(K)=2\ \times\ 294=588\!$ The final temperature in Kelvin is 588 K. Step 3: Convert the final temperature from Kelvin back to Celsius. $\Rightarrow T(^{\circ}\text{C})=T(K)-273=588-273=315\!$ The final temperature in Celsius is $315 ^{\circ} C$ .

The orderly kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas container will increase in the lorry, whereas disorderly kinetic energy will still remain the same; hence the temperature of the gas molecules will remain unchanged.

✅ Key Takeaways & Exam Summary

  • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$.
  • The average translational kinetic energy of an ideal gas molecule is directly proportional to its absolute temperature ($KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$).
  • The pressure exerted by an ideal gas is related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules and their root mean square (RMS) speed ($P = \frac{1}{3} \rho v_{rms}^2$).
  • According to the law of equipartition of energy, each degree of freedom contributes $\frac{1}{2} k_B T$ to the internal energy of a molecule.
  • Monoatomic gases have 3 translational degrees of freedom, diatomic gases have 5 (3 translational + 2 rotational) at moderate temperatures.
  • RMS speed ($v_{rms}$) is a measure of the typical speed of gas molecules and is given by $\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$.
  • Kinetic energy is independent of the nature of the gas (mass of molecules) and depends only on temperature for a given number of molecules.
  • Problems often involve converting units (e.g., erg to Joule, cm of mercury to Pascal).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

what is kinetic energy and its formula

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Its primary formula is $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity. For gas molecules, the average translational kinetic energy is $KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$, directly proportional to absolute temperature.

how to use the kinetic energy formula

To use the kinetic energy formula, identify the mass (m) and velocity (v) of the object. Substitute these values into $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$. For gas-related problems, use $KE_{avg} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$ to find average kinetic energy from temperature, or $P = \frac{1}{3} \rho v_{rms}^2$ to relate pressure to molecular motion.

total kinetic energy formula

The total kinetic energy of a system of particles is the sum of the kinetic energies of individual particles. For an ideal gas, the total internal energy (U) is often considered as the total kinetic energy, given by $U = n \frac{f}{2} RT$, where 'n' is moles, 'f' is degrees of freedom, 'R' is gas constant, and 'T' is temperature.
