    At what temperature the kinetic energy of a gas molecule is half of the value at\[27{}^\circ C\]?

    A)  \[13.5\,{}^\circ C\]                         

    B)  \[150{}^\circ C\]

    C)  \[75\,K\]                            

    D)  \[13.5\,K\]

    E)  \[-123{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                    Kinetic energy of a gas molecule \[E=\frac{3}{2}kT\]where\[k\]is Boltzmanns constant. \[\therefore \]  \[E\propto T\] or            \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\] or            \[\frac{E}{(E\text{/}2)}=\frac{300}{{{T}_{2}}}\] or            \[{{T}_{2}}=150\,K\]                 \[{{T}_{2}}=150\,-273\]                      \[=-\,123{}^\circ C\]
