The gases carbon-monoxide (CO) and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies E1 and E2 respectively. Then

Question

The gases carbon-monoxide (CO) and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies E1 and E2 respectively. Then (A)  E1 = E2  (B)  E1 > E2  (C)  E1 < E2  (D)  E1 and E2 cannot be compared

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The gases carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen ( N2 ) are diatomic, so both have equal kinetic energy (5/2) kT, ie. E1 = E2 .

Q. The gases carbon-monoxide $(CO)$ and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ respectively. Then

$E_{1} = E_{2}$

$E_{1} > E_{2}$

$E_{1} < E_{2}$

$E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ cannot be compared

The gases carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen ( $N_{2}$ ) are diatomic, so both have equal kinetic energy $\frac{5}{2} k T, i e . E_{1} = E_{2}$ .

Q. The gases carbon-monoxide (CO) and nitrogen at the same temperature have kinetic energies E1​ and E2​ respectively. Then

E1​=E2​

E1​>E2​

E1​<E2​

E1​ and E2​ cannot be compared
