1. Energy of all molecules of a monoatomic gas having a volume V and pressure P is 
. The total translational kinetic energy of all molecules of a diatomic gas as the same volume and pressure is
A
B
C
D
3 PV
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Energy of 1 mole of gas 
where f = Degree of freedom
Monoatomic or diatomic both gases posses equal degree of freedom for translational motion and that is equal to 3 i.e. f = 3 ∴ ∴ 
Although total energy will be different, For monoatomic gas 
[As f = 3]
For diatomic gas 
[As f = 5]
