The average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas is
Options
- Aproportional to absolute temperature
- Bproportional to volume
- Cproportional to pressure
- Ddependent on the nature of the gas
Correct answer
A. proportional to absolute temperature
Step-by-step solution
The average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas = 3 2 R T . Average kinetic energy of one molecule of gas = 3 2 k T         (   k = R N A ) Where k is Boltzmann constant and T is absolute temperature. So, from above relation we can say average kinetic energy of molecule is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
