What is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to according to the kinetic theory?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
According to the kinetic theory what is the kinetic energy of a gas molecule proportional to?
The kinetic energy of a single gas molecule is not proportional to anything. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to their absolute temperature.
What physical factor does the molecular velocity or kinetic energy of the gas molecule depend on?
Temperature. PV = nRT. Both sides of this equation have dimensions of energy.n = number of moles; R is the Ideal Gas Constant; and T is absolute Temperature. So for a given amount of gas, the energy is directly proportional to Temperature.
The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to what?
temperature in kelvin
Kinetic molecular theory assumptions fail at high pressure?
the kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temp of the gas
What is Kinetic energy of a gas is proportional to temperature in?
absolute temperature scale in kelvin (degrees).
What fraction of the average kinetic energy of hydrogen gas at 100K does hydrogen gas have at 40K?
40% -- it is directly proportional to the energy (in Kelvin)
What is the average kinetic energy per molecule of the gas?
(3/2)kT
Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of gas contained in a box?
Average Kinetic Energy is determined by the temperate of the gas. The higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.Total Kinetic Energy is the average kinetic energy multiplied by the mass - the number of gas molecules in the box.- DENNIS LAM
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules increases with temperature true or not?
temperature is the measure of a molecule's average kinetic energy, so yes.
Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object thus an increase in temperature results in a?
Thermodynamic temperature (absolute temperature) is proportional to the averagekinetic energy of particles in "gases". An increase in temperature will increase theaverage kinetic energy of the particles of the gas and at the same time the particle'skinetic energy distribution gets broader.If pressure of the gas is kept constant, the gas expands (increases its volume).If the volume of the gas is kept constant, the gas pressure increases.
When the Kelvin temperature of an enclosed gas doubles what do the particles of the gas do?
Temperature is proportional to energy and energy of gas particles is related to their velocity via E= 1/2mv2. So if the temperature doubles then the velocity of the individual particles increases by (4dE/m)1/2 =v
