Solution

The correct option is D $P V = \frac{2}{3} E_{k}$
The pressure $P$ can be expressed in terms of translational kinetic energy of the molecules, $i . e .$ ,
$P = \frac{2}{3} E$ .
Here, $E = \frac{1}{2} ρ C^{2}$ , which is the kinetic energy per unit volume.
$⟹ P = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{m_{n}}{V} C^{2}$ .
$⟹ P V = \frac{2}{3} E_{k}$ , where $E_{k}$ is the average kinetic energy per mole of a gas.
