Question

The absolute temperature of an ideal gas is ................ than the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.
Enter 1 for $\text{less}$
Enter 2 for $\text{more}$.

Answer 1

The absolute temperature of an ideal gas is less than the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

$KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$

$T<KE$

Thus, the absolute temperature of an ideal gas is $\text{less}$ than the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.
