Answer:
1.97×10⁻²¹ J
Explanation:
Use ideal gas law to find temperature.
PV = nRT
(9 atm) (9 L) = (83.3 mol) (0.0821 L·atm/mol/K) T
T = 11.9 K
The average kinetic energy per atom is:
KE = 3/2 kT
KE = 3/2 (1.38×10⁻²³ J/K) (11.9 K)
KE = 2.46×10⁻²² J
For a mass of 5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg, the kinetic energy is:
KE = (5.34×10⁻²⁶ kg) (1 mol / 0.004 kg) (6.02×10²³ atom/mol) (2.46×10⁻²² J)
KE = 1.97×10⁻²¹ J
