A gas was placed in a container at 300 k. if it is then heated at constant volume to 900 k, which statement/ statements correctly represent(s) the effect this would have on the kinetic energy of the gas molecules?
Accepted Answer
The kinetic energy of the gas molecules would increase by a factor of 3. This is because the average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (in Kelvin). Since the temperature tripled, the kinetic energy would also triple.
