SUMMARY
The total random kinetic energy of one mole of krypton gas at a temperature of 350 K can be calculated using the formula KE = (3/2) * nRT, where n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K)), and T is the temperature in Kelvin. For krypton, which behaves as an ideal gas at this temperature, the total kinetic energy amounts to approximately 1,300.1 Joules. Understanding the properties of gases and the ideal gas law is essential for this calculation.
