The average translational kinetic energy with which a gas molecule is endowed is dependent on its__________________?

Correct answer: C. Absolute temperature

  • A. Nature
  • B. Size
  • C. Absolute temperature
  • D. All A., B. & C.

Explanation

By kinetic theory, the average translational kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to absolute temperature, specifically 3RT/2 per mole. It does not depend on the gas molecule's nature or size.
