The expression for gas pressure developed from kinetic theory relates pressure. The more familiar form expresses the average molecular kinetic energy, energy used here is limited to the translational kinetic energy of the molecules.
The average kinetic energy of molecules in an object is governed by the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. This is because the kinetic energy of molecules is a form of internal energy that is included in the total energy of the system.
Higher temperatures mean more heat energy which translates into more kinetic energy of the molecules of nitrogen gas. This greater kinetic energy allows the molecules to diffuse faster than at a lower temperature and lower kinetic energy.
If the temperature of a gas is doubled, the mean speed of the gas molecules will also double. This is because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the temperature according to the kinetic theory of gases.
The faster the molecules of a substance are moving, the warmer that substance is, because temperature is really a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance or object. For a substance to evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas, it has to become warmer. That means that the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
yes it does mean in motion

an object has no kinetic energy if it is not moving
mean free path and RMS velocity .............................................................GHo$t

If an object has no kinetic energy, it means that it is not in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, so if there is no motion, there is no kinetic energy present.

Molecules of air are mainly nitrogen and oxygen, N2 and O2. The '2' subscript means each molecule contains two atoms. The molecules themselves do not change with changes in energy, pressure, temperature etc. I'm not sure what you mean by potential energy turning into kinetic energy. I can visualise one route, where you have air pressurised in a container, then you release the pressure and the air rushes out, gaining kinetic energy. In this case the molecules of air will soon collide with the air that they are going into and be slowed down until mixed and at the same pressure and temperature. The density of the air will be lower than it was in the pressurised container. This means not so many molecules in a unit volume, so their mean distance apart will be greater. If that is what you mean by 'expand' then I agree, but the molecules themselves are not altered.
No. There is a well known distribution of probabilities that describes how likely it is that a given molecule has a given kinetic energy, but a gas will always have some fast and some cold molecule. The average KE is defined by temp, however.
I am not sure what you mean with "working energy". Kinetic energy is specifically energy related to movement - the energy an object has because it is moving.
I think you mean Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. An example of kinetic energy is playing, jumping or walking. The other energy is called Potential energy. This is energy waiting to be used like a battery.
