Q. The gases carbon-monoxide $ (CO) $ and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies $ E_1 $ and $ E_2 $ respectively. Then

MHT CETMHT CET 2007Kinetic Theory

Solution:

The gases carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen ( $ N_2 $ ) are diatomic, so both have equal kinetic energy $ \frac{5}{2} kT, ie. \, E_1 = E_2 $ .
