Pressure of an ideal gas is increased by keeping temperature constant.What is its effect on kinetic energy of molecules?

A

Increases

B

decreases

C

No change

D

Cannot be determined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Kinetic energy of ideal gas depends only on its temperature. Hence, it remains constant whether its pressure is increased or decreased.
