The average translational K.E. of the molecules in a sample of oxygen at 300K is 6 x 10-20. What is the average translational energy at 750 K?
Answer: 1.5 x 10^-19 J
Explanation
The average translational kinetic energy of molecules is directly proportional to the temperature (in Kelvin).
Since the temperature is increased from 300 K to 750 K, the average translational kinetic energy will also increase by a factor of 750/300 = 2.5.
So, the average translational energy at 750 K will be:
6 x 10^-20 J x 2.5 = 1.5 x 10^-19 J
