Solution
Data: T = 273 + 127 = 400 K,
molecular weight = 32
∴ molar mass = 32 kg/kmol,
R = 8.31 Jmol-1K-1,
NA = 6.02 × 1023 molecules mol-1
(i) The average molecular kinetic energy per kmol of oxygen = the average kinetic energy per mol of oxygen × 1000
`= 3/2 "RT" xx 1000`
= `3/2(8.31)(400)(10^3)"J"/"kmol"`
= (600)(8.31)(103)
= 4.986 × 106 J/kmol
(ii) The average molecular kinetic energy per kg of oxygen
= `3/2 "RT"/"M"_0`
= `(4.986xx10^6 "J"//"mol")/(32 "kg"//"kmol")`
= 1.558 × 105 J/kg.
(iii) The average molecular kinetic energy per molecule of oxygen
= `3/2 "RT"/"N"_"A"`
= `(4.986 xx 10^6 "J"//"mol")/(6.02 xx 10^23 "molecule"//"mol")`
= 8.282 × 10-21 J/molecule

Figure shows a cylindrical tube of radius 5 cm and length 20 cm. It is closed by a tight-fitting cork. The friction coefficient between the cork and the tube is 0.20. The tube contains an ideal gas at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 300 K. The tube is slowly heated and it is found that the cork pops out when the temperature reaches 600 K.
