(a)
Answer to Problem 46P
The average translational kinetic energy of the oxygen molecules
Explanation of Solution
Given:
At STP, the values of temperature and pressure are
The value of Boltzmann's constant,
Formula used:
The average translational kinetic energy is,
Calculation:
Now substitute the values in the given formula,
Conclusion:
The average translational kinetic energy of the oxygen molecules is
(b)
To Calculate: The total translational energy.
(b)
Answer to Problem 46P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Number of moles of oxygen gas,
Temperature is,
Calculation:
The total translational energy is equal to the product of the number of molecules and the average kinetic energy of gas molecules
Conclusion:
The total translational kinetic energy is
