Answer

(a) $3400J$ (b) $3400J$ (c) $3400J$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required total translational kinetic energy as follows: $E=\frac{3}{2}k_B TN_A$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=\frac{3}{2}(1.38\times 10^{-23})273\times 6.02\times 10^{23}$ This simplifies to: $E=3400J$ We know that the translational kinetic energy for 1 mole of hydrogen, helium and oxygen is same at STP.
