The average kinetic energy of molecules of HX2 and OX2 at the same temperature is
Agreater for HX2
Bgreater for OX2
Cthe same for both
Dzero for both
Answer: C
Average kinetic energy per molecule =23kBT depends only on temperature, not on the mass of the molecule. The lighter HX2 moves faster, but has the same average kinetic energy.
