Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions: On the basis of the postulates of kinetic theory of gases, it is possible to derive the mathematical expression, commonly known as kinetic gas equation. PV=(1)/(3) mnU^(2) where, P = Pressure of the gas, V = Volume of the gas, m = Mass of a molecule, n = Number of molecules present in the given amount of a gas and u = Root mean square speed For one mole of gas, PV=RT and n=N_(A) (1)/(3) mN_(A)u^(2)=RT (2)/(3) cdot (1)/(2) mN_(A) u^(2)=RT ((1)/(2)mN_(A)u^(2)=" K. E. per mol") (2)/(3) K.E.=RT rArr K.E. =(3)/(2) RT Average kinetic energy per mol does not depend on the nature of the gas but depends only on temperature. Thus, when two gases are mixed at the same temperature, there will be no rise or decrease in temperature unless both react chemically. Average kinetic energy per molecule =("Average K. E. per mole")/(N) =(3)/(2) (RT)/(N) rArr (3)/(2) kT where k is the Boltzmann constant. Which of the following expressions correctly represents the relationship between the average molar kinetic energies of CO and N_(2) molecules at the same temperature?

Answer»

`K.E. (CO) =K.E.(N_(2))`
`K.E.(CO) gt K.E.(N_(2))`
`K.E.(CO) lt K.E.(N_(2))`
Cannot be PREDICTED UNLESS the VOLUMES of the gases are given.
