    How Do You Calculate the Kinetic Energy of CO, CO2, and SO3 at 276 K?

    Homework Statement Calculate the kinetic energy of CO, CO2, and SO3 at 276 K . Homework Equations KE = (3/2) RT KE= (1/2)(mass)(velocity)^2 The Attempt at a Solution [/B] For CO: First attempt: KE=(3/2)(RT)=(3/2)(8.314 J/mol-K)(276K) = 3441.996 -- So that's wrong Second attempt: Relative...
