Absolute temperature of a gas is directly proportional to average_
Correct answer: B. Translational K.E
- A. Rotational K.E
- B. Translational K.E
- C. Vibrational K.E
- D. None of these
Explanation
The absolute temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules.This relationship is described by the kinetic theory of gases and is one of the fundamental principles behind the ideal gas law.As the temperature of a gas increases,the average translational kinetic energy of its molecules also increases.This relationship holds for ideal gases and also to a certain extent for real gases under normal conditions.

About Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic molecular theory explains gases as rapidly moving particles separated by large distances, with negligible volume and negligible intermolecular attraction in the ideal model. It relates temperature to average kinetic energy and explains gas pressure, Boyle's and Charles's laws, diffusion, effusion and the conditions under which real gases deviate from ideal behavior.
