Kinetic theory of gases stipulates that, the____________________?

Correct answer: C. Absolute temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules

  • A. Energy is lost during molecular collisions
  • B. Molecules possess appreciable volume
  • C. Absolute temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Kinetic theory relates absolute temperature to the average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules. The theory assumes negligible molecular volume and elastic collisions, so the other statements are false.
