The average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules depends on
Temperature only
Number of moles and temperature
Pressure and temperature
Pressure only

Temperature only.
This means that the average kinetic energy is directly related to the gas's absolute temperature. The relationship can be defined by the equation:
K.E = \(\frac{3}{2}\)kT
where K.E = average kinetic energy, k = Boltzmann's constant, and T = absolute temperature.
