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.

∙ 12y agoThe total kinetic energy is the sum of all the kinetic energy of each molecule. The average is the total kinetic energy divided by the number of particles in the box.

The difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of a gas contained in a box?
I just figured this out, so here it is:Average kinetic molecular energy is based on temp(in kelvin).Ek= (3/2)RT ; where R is a constant(.0821), and T is temp in kelvin.Total molecular kinetic energy is:uRMS=[(3RT)/M]^(1/2) R equals 8.314 J/mol; T=kelvin; M=kg/mol
What is the average amount of motion of each particle of substance?
average kinetic energy means the pressure that it exerts on the walls of the container if it is contained in it .
At a given temperature which gas has the lowest average molecular speed?
1/2mv2 its kinetic energy
Explain the difference between an object's external temperature and its thermal energy?
The thermal energy of an object consists of the total kinetic energy of all its atoms and molecules. The temperature of the object is a measured average intensity of its thermal energy.
Why should you use the word average when describing molecular motion?
The term average must be used as the molecular motion is not completely uniform. ie. some of the molecules will vibrate at different frequencies and amplitudes, around a fixed average position. This is shown as water can evaporate even if it is below the boiling point, as some molecules have enough energy to escape. the boiling point is when the average energy is 100 degrees centigrade, so the molecules turn to gas.

What molecular property of a gas remains same for all gases at a particular temperature?
Average Kinetic Molecular Energy
How do you calculate number average molecular weight given molecular weight range and fraction?
Molecular weight is just an older term for molar mass. They are the same.
When a substace is heated how does the molecular motion change?
The average speed of the random molecular motion increases. The corresponding increase in molecular kinetic energy accounts for what happened to all of that heat energy.
