Indicate the correct statement for a 1-L sample of N2(g)N2(g) and CO2(g)CO2(g) at 298 K

and 1 atm pressure

The average translational KE per molecule is the same in N2N2 and CO2CO2
Marked Answer

The rms speed remains constant for both N2N2 and CO2CO2
Marked Answer

The density of N2N2 is less than that of CO2CO2

Marked Answer

The total translational KE of both N2N2 and CO2CO2 is the same

Marked Answer
Solution:
Sol. (A,C,D)
Kinetic energies per molecule will be same because it is proportional to absolute
temperature only.
dN2dCO2=MN2MCO2=2844dN2dCO2=MN2MCO2=2844i.e. dN2<dCO2dN2<dCO2
Total translational kinetic energy will also be same because at same temperature &
pressure number of molecules present in same volume would be same (according to
Avogadro's Law)
