Which of the following statements is correct about the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas?
It increase with increase in pressure
It increase at constant temperature
It increase with increase in temperature
It increase with increase in volume
Wyjaśnienie
The average kinetic energy of a gas's molecules increases as the temperature of the gas increases.The kinetic energy of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, so does the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
