Kinetic energy of molecules

Equation

>Top, >Model


Since the particles can have a different speed we will work with average values. In such a case the average kinetic energy is

$\langle\epsilon\rangle=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}m\langle v^2\rangle$

is the average of the square of the speed.

Molecules energy

Equation

>Top, >Model


With the Boltzmann constant\\n\\n

$k_B=\displaystyle\frac{R}{N_A}$

\\n\\nand the energy per particle\\n\\n

$\langle\epsilon\rangle=\displaystyle\frac{3RT}{2N_A}$



you can write this as

$\langle\epsilon\rangle=\displaystyle\frac{3}{2}kT$

Energy of a particle with $f$ degrees of freedom

Equation

>Top, >Model


If the particle has f degrees of freedom, the energy can be calculated based on the absolute temperature T and the Boltzmann constant k_B by

$\langle\epsilon\rangle=\displaystyle\frac{f}{2}kT$

Energy of a particle system

Equation

>Top, >Model


The energy E contained in n moles of particles will be the average energy multiplied by the number of moles n and the Avogadro number N_A

$E=nN_A\langle\epsilon\rangle$
