Detailed Solution

Energy of motion of 1 mole of gas=32RT(1)

where R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.
The Maxwell generalisation, or Eq (1), states that at a given temperature, a mole of every gas has the same kinetic energy, which is equal to 32RT

As a result, the kinetic energy of all three gases—CO2, O2, and Cl2 is 32RT
