Question

The kinetic theory of gases predicts that total kinetic energy of a gaseous assembly depends on :

• A. Pressure of the gas
• B. Temperature of the gas
• C. Volume of the gas
• D. Pressure, temperature, and volume of the gas

Answer 1

The correct option is D Pressure, temperature, and volume of the gas

As we know,
$KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$
and ideal gas equation is PV = nRT so
$KE=\frac{3}{2}PV$
so it will depend on pressure, temperature, and volume of the gas.
