KE = #5.23 *10^-22# J

Explanation:

Given:
v = 150 m/s
m = 28 g/mol

- Solving for the mass of the molecule in kg

m = 28 g/mol = 0.028 kg / mole = 0.028 kg / #6.022 * 10^23# molecules = #4.65 * 10^-26# kg/ molecule
<br>

- Solving for the kinetic energy (KE)

KE = #1/2 mv^2# = #1/2 (4.65 * 10^-26 kg) (150 m/s)^2 = 5.23 *10^-22# J
