Question

Temperature as the average kinetic energy of a gas increases.

A.)stay the same

B.)increase

C.)decrease

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

`K=(3RT)/(2N_A)`

where,

K = Average kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature of the system

`N_A` = Avogadro's number

From the above relation, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system. So, if average kinetic energy of the system increases, it means that temperature also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Answer 2

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if the temperature of a gas increaseas, then the kinetic energy and the average speed increases too. For that reason, the correct answer is option B).
