The temperature at which the kinetic energy of oxygen molecules becomes double than its value at is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Relation between kinetic energy and temperature
For an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy of a molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature:
So, if the kinetic energy becomes double, then the absolute temperature must also become double.
- Convert the initial temperature into Kelvin
Given initial temperature:
- Double the absolute temperature
If kinetic energy doubles,
- Convert back to Celsius
- Match with the options
corresponds to Option C.
Final Answer
The required temperature is:
