NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ig007

According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas is directly proportional to

  1. Athe pressure of the gas
  2. Bthe absolute temperature of the gas
  3. Cthe molar mass of the gas
  4. Dthe volume of the gas

Answer: B

Kinetic theory gives per molecule, which depends only on the absolute temperature and not on the identity, pressure or volume of the gas.
