Question

Total kinetic energy of gas depends only upon:

• A. Temperature, $i.e.,$ $KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$
• B. Pressure, $i.e.,$ $KE=\frac{5}{2}RT$
• C. Pressure, $i.e.,$ $KE=\frac{1}{2}RT$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Temperature, $i.e.,$ $KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$

Total kinetic energy of gas depends only upon temperature.
A decrease in temperature results in a decrease in kinetic energy of molecules.
Also, $KE=\frac{3}{2}RT$
