Acylinder contains a mixture of helium and argon gas in equilibrium at a temperature of 233◦ c. the value of boltzmann’s constant is 1.38066 × 10−23 j/k, and avogadro’s number is 6.02 × 1023 mol−1. what is the average kinetic energy of each type of molecule? answer in units of j.

Answer : The average kinetic energy is,

Explanation :

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant =

T = temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above average kinetic energy formula, we get:

Therefore, the average kinetic energy is,

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
