The average thermal energy for a mono-atomic gas is : (kB is Boltzmann constant and T, absolute temperature)
  1. 32 kBT
  2. 52 kBT
  3. 72kBT
  4. 12 kBT

Solution

Average thermal energy =32kBT

where 3 is translational degree of freedom for monoatomic gas total degree of freedom
f=3 (translational degree of freedom)
