    At which of the following temperature would the molecules of gas have twice the average kinetic energy they have at \[20{}^\circ C\]?

    A) \[40{}^\circ C\]                              

    B) \[80{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[586{}^\circ C\]

    D) \[313{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The average kinetic energy of molecules is \[KE=\frac{3}{2}kT\]where k is Boltzmann constant, T the absolute temperature. \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{K{{E}_{1}}}{K{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{T}_{2}}=\frac{K{{E}_{2}}}{K{{E}_{1}}}{{T}_{1}}\] Given,   \[K{{E}_{2}}=2K{{E}_{1}}\],                 \[{{T}_{1}}={{20}^{o}}C=273+20=293\,K\]. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{T}_{2}}=2\times 293=586\ K\] In centigrade,                 \[{{T}_{2}}=586-273={{313}^{o}}C\]
