Question 2

A cylinder contains a mass m m\,m of helium gas (molar mass = 4.0 g mol-1) at an absolute temperature TTT. The total molecular kinetic energy of the helium gas is EEE.

A second cylinder contains a mass 2m of neon gas (molar mass = 20 g mol-1) at an absolute temperature 3T3T3T. Both gases behave as ideal gases.

What is the total molecular kinetic energy of the neon gas?
