According to the kinetic theory, what is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to?

a. volume of the gas
b. pressure of the gas
c. temperature of the gas
d. density of the gas

A.Gas actually has no volume

B.Kinetic Molecular Theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions.this come from the pressure of the gas

C.temperature of the gas will only help the pressure

D.gas isn’t even dense

The answer is B

c. temperature of the gas

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli, in the kinetic theory the pressure of a gas is the consequence of the impacts of the particles of the gas towards the walls of the container in which it is located.

In the expressions PV = k T and P = m (v2) / 3V. If these two equations refer to the same reality, then kT = m (v2) / 3. From here we can say that the temperature of a gas, T = 2 / (3k) m (v2) / 2 is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
