Question

What affects the kinetic energy of a gas?


Open in App
Solution

Kinetic energy

  1. The kinetic energy of gases is the energy related to the motion of the gas molecules or the velocity of the particles. It has been discovered that the gas's particles move quickly and continuously.
  2. Temperature is one physical characteristic that affects kinetic energy.
  3. The system's temperature is raised, and as a result, the particles move faster and have more kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the gas also reduces when the system's temperature decreases.
  4. As a result, the sole factor affecting the average kinetic energy of the gases is the system's absolute temperature. The following equation describes the relationship between the system's temperature and kinetic energy.
  5. Kinetic energy also depends on the number of moles of a substance.

K.E.=32nRT[wheren=numberofmolesofthegases,R=Universalgasconstant,T=temperature]
