The average kinetic energy of a molecule of a gas at absolute temperature T is proportional to

Options

A. directly temperture T is
B. inversely proportional to `T^(2)`
C. directly proportional to `T^(2)`
D. inversely proprtional to T

Answer

C

Explanation

We know that, `KE=3/2kT`
where `3/2k` is constant, so KE `prop` T
Now we can say that the average kinetic energy of a gas molecule at absolute temperature T is directly proportional to T.
