Is the average kinetic energy per molecule the same for oxygen and nitrogen molecules in air at a given temperature?

Oxygen and nitrogen have equal average kinetic energy per molecule at room temperature. This is assuming that both oxygen and nitrogen molecules are in fact at room temperature.

The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with temperature true or not?
temperature is the measure of a molecule's average kinetic energy, so yes.
Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?
Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.
Temperature is relative to the energy of the molecules?
Increasing temperature will increase molecular speed.An object with less massive molecules will have higher molecular speed at the same temperature.When kinetic temperature applies, two objects with the same average translational kinetic energy will have the same temperature. An important idea related to temperature is the fact that a collision between a molecule with high kinetic energy and one with low kinetic energy will transfer energy to the molecule of lower kinetic energy.
What is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance?
temperature is the average kinetic energy of a particle
Average amount of energy of motion in the molecules of a substance?
Temperature!!!!
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with temperature true or not?
temperature is the measure of a molecule's average kinetic energy, so yes.
What is the average speed of Hydrogen molecules?
At what temperature? Average speed is the square root of - 8 times the gas constant, times the absolute temperature, divided by pi times the mass of the molecule.
Temperature measures the blank in the air?
The temperature of the air is a measure of the degree of molecular movement of all the Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules that largely make up air. Technically, it is determined by getting the average speed of a body's molecules.
What happens to the distance between molecules as the temperature increases?
Temperature is an indirect measurement of a system's molecule's average kinetic energy (KE). As the temperature of a system increases, so does the KE of the molecules. This causes the molecules to move farther apart. You can see this most easily in an old (not digital) thermometer.
What is the average temperature of liquid nitrogen?
the average temperature of liquid nitrogen ranges anywhere from -300 to -400 degrees Fahrenheit
Why would a thermometer show a low temperature in the thermosphere?
Temperature is the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance gas molecules in the thermosphere move very rapidly, so the temperature is very high
What is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to according to the kinetic theory?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
According to the kinetic theory what is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
Why do oxygen molecules move slowly than hydrogen molecules at the same temperature?
Two gasses at the same temperature have the same amount of average kinetic energy per molecule. Since an oxygen molecule has about 16 times the mass of a hydrogen molecule, it must move faster than a hydrogen molecule with the same kinetic energy. This is based on the equation KE=1/2MV2
What is an example of the average speed of the particles in a substance?
At room temperature, atoms travel at roughly the speed of sound. Since at a given temperature, the average momentum of the molecules of different substances are the same and since momentum is mv (mass times velocity) a lighter atom or molecule is traveling faster than a heavier one. The lighter molecule has the same momentum (temperature) as the heavier molecule and so is moving faster.
What is the process of a liquid (such as water to steam)?
Water molecules are in constant motion at any temperature above absolute zero. At a given time, there will be fast molecules and slow molecules. Their average speed is the temperature. If a water molecule is moving fast enough, it can break free from the other molecules and leave the surface as water vapor or steam. Since the temperature is the average, if the fast ones leave and the water is left with the slow ones, the water will become cooler.
The average vibration of molecules in an object is measured by?
temperature!
