I honestly don't know. I'm too frustrated to think straight at the moment. I am mad that I am not getting this.phyzguy said:What does the kinetic energy of a particle in a gas depend on? Does it depend on the pressure? The volume? If not, then what?

Hint: Do a web search on Kinetic Temperature

The formula for calculating the kinetic energy of a particle in 2mol of nitrogen is KE = 3/2 * k * T, where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10^-23 J/K) and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
To determine the temperature in Kelvin, we need to convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15. For example, if the temperature is 25°C, the temperature in Kelvin would be 298.15K.
The unit of measurement for kinetic energy in this calculation is Joules (J).
This formula can be applied to any gas, as long as the temperature is given in Kelvin and the Boltzmann constant is used.
The number of moles does not directly affect the kinetic energy of the particles. However, it does affect the total kinetic energy of the gas since there are more particles present in 2mol of nitrogen compared to 1mol of nitrogen.
