Chapter 19, Problem 19.3E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The kinetic energy of one mole of ${\text{SO}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$ at $29\text{8 K}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The kinetic energy of the particle is the amount of energy that it possesses due to its own movement. The kinetic energy of a particle is calculated by the formula,

$\text{Kinetic energy}=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

The average kinetic energy of every gas particles is directly related to the temperature. The speed of gas molecules increases with increase in temperature. The average kinetic energy of a mole of particle is calculated by the formula,

$E=\frac{3}{2}nRT$
