, the average translational kinetic energy per molecule of an ideal gas depends upon its
Correct answer: D. absolute temprature
- A. volume
- B. pressure
- C. molecule type
- D. absolute temprature
Explanation
In the kinetic theory of gases, temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. The kinetic energy of a gas molecule is associated with its motion or velocity. According to the kinetic theory, the average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gasThis can be shown by the equation :K.E= 3/2 RT

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
