Translational kinetic energy of molecules of an ideal gas is proportional to (where, T = absolute temperature of the gas)__________________?

Correct answer: A. T

  • A. T
  • B. √T
  • C. T2
  • D. 1/√T

Explanation

The average translational kinetic energy of ideal-gas molecules is proportional to absolute temperature, as given by the molecular relation 9 mv = 9 kT per molecule. Hence it varies directly as T.
