At what temperature does the average translational KE of a molecule in a gas becomes equal to the K.E. of an electron accelerated through a PD of 3 V?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Electron through 3 V gains KE = eV = (1.6×10-19)(3) = 4.8×10-19 J. Set 3/2kT = 4.8×10-19: T = (2 × 4.8×10-19)/3 × 1.38×10-23 ≈ 2.32×104 K = 23,200 K. Confirms Ans (c).
