The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is

Question

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is (A) proportional to pressure of gas (B) inversely proportional to volume of gas (C) inversely proportional to absolute temperature of gas (D) directly proportional to absolute temperature of gas

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Average kinetic energy E=(3/2) k T ⇒ E propto T Thus, average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of gas.

Q. The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is

proportional to pressure of gas

inversely proportional to volume of gas

inversely proportional to absolute temperature of gas

directly proportional to absolute temperature of gas

Average kinetic energy
$E = \frac{3}{2} k T$
$\Rightarrow E \propto T$
Thus, average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of gas.

Q. The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is

proportional to pressure of gas

inversely proportional to volume of gas

inversely proportional to absolute temperature of gas

directly proportional to absolute temperature of gas

Average kinetic energy E=23​kT ⇒E∝T Thus, average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of gas.

Average kinetic energy
$E = \frac{3}{2} k T$
