Air is a mixture of (mostly) oxygen (molecular mass 16) and nitrogen (molecular mass 14) gases. At room temperature, which molecules in this room have more kinetic energy (on average)

Respuesta :

The molecules of the two gases will have the same kinetic energy at room temperature.

The average kinetic energy of gaseous molecules can be calculated using the formula:

Kinetic Energy = 3/2RT, where R = constant and T = temperature in Kelvin

This means that the kinetic energy of a gaseous molecule is dependent on the temperature of the molecule only.

In other words, the molecular mass of molecules of gases has no bearing on the kinetic energy of each molecule.
