1. A vessel contains a mixture of one mole of oxygen and two moles of nitrogen at 300 K . The ratio of the average rotational kinetic energy per 
molecule to that per 
molecule is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Kinetic energy per degree of freedom 
As diatomic gas possess two degree of freedom for rotational motion therefore rotational K.E. 
In the problem both gases (oxygen and nitrogen) are diatomic and have same temperature (300 K ) therefore ratio of average rotational kinetic energy will be equal to one.
