A 1.0 mole sample of fluorine gas at 25 °C has an average molecular velocity of 415 m/s. What is the total KE of the gas sample? Report your answer in kilojoules to the nearest tenth.

Answer :

Eduard22slygo

The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ

What is kinetic energy?

This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

KE = ½mv²

Where

  • KE is the kinetic energy
  • m is the mass
  • v is the velocity

How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas

  • Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
  • Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
  • Mass of fluorine gas = ?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38

Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g

How to determine the KE of the gas sample

  • Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
  • Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
  • Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²

KE = 3272.275 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule

KE = 3272.275 / 1000

KE = 3.3 KJ
