Question

What does the kinetic theory state about the relationship between average kinetic energy and absolute temperature?
Options
A The average kinetic energy of gas particles is inversely proportional to absolute temperature
B The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature
Correct Answer
C There is no relationship between kinetic energy and temperature
D Kinetic energy decreases as temperature increases
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

According to the kinetic theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster and have greater kinetic energy.

Hint

Higher temperature means faster particle motion.
