Q.

The temperature at which the kinetic energy of oxygen molecules becomes double than its value at 27°C is            [2023]

1 627°C  
2 327°C  
3 927°C  
4 1227°C  

Ans.

(2)

Kinetic energy=f2kT,  where T is the absolute temperature.

If K1 is the kinetic energy at 27°C

and K2 is the kinetic energy at new temperature T.

K1K2=T1T212=300T

T=600KT=327°C
