If a proton is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 30 kV, it is given an energy of 30 keV (30,000 eV) and it can break up as many as 6000 of these molecules (30,000 eV ÷ 5 eV per molecule= 6000 molecules).

PE = qV where q =1.6 x 10^-19 C and V = 1000 V
Assuming the proton no longer experiences the potential energy and it is all converted to kinetic energy then:
PE* = 0, KE* = 1/(2mv^2)
Now since PE +KE = Total energy =PE* + KE*
qV + 0 = 0 + 1/2mv^2
Or: KE = qV = 1.6 10^-15 J
