Question
The pressure of an ideal gas is written as \[P = \frac{2E}{3V}\] . Here E refers to
Options
translational kinetic energy
rotational kinetic energy
vibrational kinetic energy
total kinetic energy.
Solution
translational kinetic energy
According to the kinetic theory, molecules show straight line in motion (translational). So, the kinetic energy is essentially transitional.
