The mass of a molecule is very very small but there is many molecules and they all have kinetic energy. First, we have to assume that the gas is ideal. Kinetic energy of an ideal gas is only a function of moles and temperature. Hence: 
KE=(3/2)nRT = (3/4)(1mole)(8.314J/molK)(25+273.15)K
= 3718.22J or 3.7KJ

Answer: 3716.4 Joules

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

[tex]K=\frac{3nRT}{2}[/tex]

K= kinetic energy

n= number of moles = 1

R= gas constant  = 8.314 J/Kmol

T= temperature  in Kelvin =[tex]25^0C=(25+273)K=298K[/tex]

Putting in the values, we get

[tex]K=\frac{3\times 1\times 8.314\times 298}{2}=3716.4Joules[/tex]

Thus average kinetic energy of 1 mole of a gas at 25 degrees Celsius is 3716.4 Joules
