The kinetic Energy of Molecules is Directly Proportional to: a) temperature b) pressure c) both a and b

Answer: a)

Explanation: The average energy possessed by a molecule due to its mobility, which is directly proportional to temperature, is known as kinetic energy.

K = 3RT2Na 

Average kinetic energy is denoted by the abbreviation K.

R = Constant of the gas

T stands for the system’s temperature.

Avogadro’s number (Na) is a number that was discovered by Avogadro in the

Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity whose magnitude is the only way to explain it.
