Question

Indicate which of the following statements regarding the
kinetic-molecular theory of gases are correct. (a) The average
kinetic energy of a collection of gas molecules at a given temperature
is proportional to m1>2.

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here, We have a question asking us to identify whether the statement regarding the kinetic molecular theory of gasses is true or false. The molar mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. The average kinetic energy is related to temperature, so the amount of molecules don't actually matter. They're all going to have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature. So this is false. Thank you for watching. Bye.
