Assume an ideal gas and recall the equipartition theorem for all the questions below.
(a) Determine the equation that predicts the average kinetic energy of the gas O2,shown below. Show your logic and reasoning.
(b) Using this equation, calculate the average root mean squared speed of O2 molecules, assuming that: T = 37?, Kb = 1.681x10^(-23) J/K, MO2 =31 g/mol.
(c) Under this scenario does the kinetic energy change if the two atoms of the molecule are different? For example: carbon monoxide (CO). What about the average speed?
(d) What is the total average energy of the triatomic gas Ozone?
