Question

How does a sample of helium at 15 °C compare to a sample of helium at 215 K?

The helium at 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at 215 K.
The helium at 15 °C has lower nuclear energy than the sample at 215 K.
The helium at 15 °C has slower-moving atoms than the sample at 215 K.
The helium at 15 °C has smaller atoms than the sample at 215 K.

Answer 1

The answer is: The helium at 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at 215 K.

215 K is equivalent to -58.15 °C. Temperature is directly proportional to average kinetic enegry, so 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at -58.15 °C or 215K.

Answer 2

Answer:

A) The helium at 15 °C has a higher average kinetic energy than the sample at 215 K.
