Kinetic Energy

The energy of a molecule due to its motion.

2
New cards

Translational Kinetic Energy

The energy a molecule possesses due to its movement in space.

3
New cards

Mean Kinetic Energy at Absolute Zero

The mean kinetic energy of molecules is zero at absolute zero temperature.

4
New cards

Average Translational KE of a Gas Molecule

Depends only on its temperature and is independent of its nature.

5

Equation for Average KE of a Molecule

Emole = 3/2 kT, where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is temperature.
