MCQ
$K.E.$ of molecular motion appears as:
- APressure
- B$P.E.$
- ✓Temperature
- DAll of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Temperature
In the kinetic theory of gasses, increasing the temperature of a gas increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules, causing increased motion. This increased motion increases the outward pressure of the gas, an expected result from the ideal gas equation $\text{PV = NkT}$
Hence, the kinetic energy of the molecular motion appears as temperature since it varies with change in temperature.
Hence, the kinetic energy of the molecular motion appears as temperature since it varies with change in temperature.
