When the temperature of a gas is increased

Question

When the temperature of a gas is increased (A) its molecular kinetic energy increases (B) molecular potential energy decreases and molecular kinetic energy also decreases, total energy remaining constant (C) molecular potential energy increases and molecular kinetic energy decreases; total energy remaining constant (D) its molecular potential energy increases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The gas molecules keep on colliding among themselves as well as with the walls of containing vessel. As the temperature rises molecules gain energy and their velocity increases with rise in temperature, speed of molecule increases as

v \propto T

Q. When the temperature of a gas is increased

its molecular kinetic energy increases

molecular potential energy decreases and molecular kinetic energy also decreases, total energy remaining constant

molecular potential energy increases and molecular kinetic energy decreases; total energy remaining constant

its molecular potential energy increases

The gas molecules keep on colliding among themselves as well as with the walls of containing vessel. As the temperature rises molecules gain energy and their velocity increases with rise in temperature, speed of molecule increases as v∝T​
