Solution
The correct option is DEav at a given temperature does not depend on its molecular mass We know that, Urms=√3RTM
Hence, Urms is doubled when its temperature is increased four times and Urms is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
Eav=32RT Eav at a given temperature does not depend on its molecular mass
