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

The correct answer is temperature of the gas.

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy of the particles is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles in a gas molecule. The equation used to calculate the average kinetic energy of a gas is given by:

where,

K = kinetic energy of the gas

R = gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

= Avogadro's number

From the above equation, kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the gas molecule. As, the temperature of the gas increases, kinetic energy also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer is temperature of the gas.

the correct answer is c
