What would happen to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas sample if the temperature of the sample increased from 20C to 40C?

We will use that formula and see. Celsius converted to Kelvin.
20o C = 293.15 Kelvin
40o C = 313.15 Kelvin
KEavg = 3/2RT
KE = 3/2(8.315 J/mol*K)(293.15 K)
= 3656 Joules
================
The average kinetic energy increased about 8% in value.

Why does the kinetic energy of water molecules remain the same when it reaches the boiling point?
average kinetic energy of molecules is roughly equivilant to temperature. as water reaches boiling point the temperature stops increasing. Instead the energy your putting in makes a phase change from liquid to gas.
How are temperature and kinetic energy related to each other?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of an object.
What is a measure of average kinetic energy of a group of molecules?
The temperature of a sample of nitrogen gas is a measure of the molecules' average # activation energy # potential energy # kinetic energy # ionization energy Answer 3 Reason Temperature measures average kinetic energy.
Which is the average kinetic energy of a particles in an object?
It is temperature.
How does a substance 's temperature change when the average kinetic energy of it's particle increases?
As the average kinetic energy of a substance increases, the temperature will increase.
Temperature is the what of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance?
The average energy is increased by heating.
By increasing the temperature the temperature of water how are you changing the kinetic energy of the water molecules?
It is being increased, because temperature is the average kinetic energy of the object.
What is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance?
temperature is the average kinetic energy of a particle
What is the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object is?
The average kinetic energy of all the molecules in an object is the temperature.
The average kinetic energy of a sample of water molecules is what?
increased as the temperature in increasedincreased as the temprature in increased
The measure of the average kinetic energy of a group of molecules?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy
What will happen to the kinetic energy of gas molecules trapped in a rigid container if the temperature is increased?
increased
What is the measure of kinetic energy of the Molecules?
temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substances molecules, though energy is in joules and temperature is in Kelvin.
What is the measure of kinetic energy of a substances molecules?
temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substances molecules, though energy is in joules and temperature is in Kelvin.
Can average kinetic energy be classified as temperature or heat?
Yes. In its simplest, Temperature can be defined as the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.
What is the average kinetic energy molecules in an object called?
It is Temperature
What increases when the average Kinetic energy of the particles in a material increases?
The average kinetic energy of colliding particles can be increased by increasing temperature.
