Open in App
Solution
Calculate the average kinetic energy of a gas
The formula for the typical kinetic energy,
Where is the average kinetic energy and the unit is Joule, is the gas constant, the value is and the unit is , is Avogadro's number, the value is and the unit is , and is the temperature and the unit is .
The average energy contained in the motion of a gas's particles is known as average kinetic energy.
