Question

As the temperature is raised from 20°C to 40°C, the average kinetic energy of neon atoms changes by which factor?

Options

• `313/293`

• `sqrt(313/293)`

• `1/2`

• 2

Answer 1

`bb(313/293)`

Explanation:

`"K.E. of neon at 40°C"/"K.E. of neon at 20°C" = (3/2 "K" xx 313)/(3/2 "K" xx 293) = 313/293`
