The average translational kinetic energy of O2 (relative molar mass 32) molecules at a particular temperature is 0.048eV. The translational kinetic energy of N2 (relative molar mass 28) molecules in eV at that same temperature is?

The average translational kinetic energy of O2 (relative molar mass 32) molecules at a particular temperature is 0.048eV. The translational kinetic energy of N2 (relative molar mass 28) molecules in eV at that same temperature is? Answer: 0.048

Even though have different molecular masses, at the same temperature their average translational kinetic energies are equal — only their rms speeds differ (lighter gas moves faster).
