Question

State True or False.

Kinetic energy of a molecule is zero at $0^{o}C$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The expression for the kinetic energy is $KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$.
Here $T$ is the absolute temperature in kelvin.
For $T$ = $0^{o}C$ = $273$ $K$, the kinetic energy is not zero.
