Question 6 of 32
A monatomic gas is measured to have an average speed
of 1673 m/s. If the total amount of the gas is 8 mol (which
equates to a mass of 0.032 kg), what is the approximate
temperature of the gas? (Recall that the equation for
kinetic energy due to translation in a gas is KEtranslational
= 1 m² = nRT, and R = 8.31 J/(mol·K).)
