Following statements are given: (A) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases when the temperature is reduced. (B) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule increases with increase in pressure at constant temperature. (C) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases with increase in volume. (D) Pressure of gas increases with increase in temperature at constant pressure. (E) The volume of gas decreases with increase in temperature. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: (1) (A) and (D) only (2) (A), (B) and (D) only (3) (B) and (D) only (4) (A), (B) and (E) only

  1. (A) and (D) only
  2. (A), (B) and (D) only
  3. (B) and (D) only
  4. (A), (B) and (E) only

Correct answer: (A) and (D) only

Solution

Average kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends only on temperature: (A) is true (lower T -> lower KE) and (D) is true (P rises with T at constant volume). (B), (C) and (E) are false since KE is independent of P and V. Correct: (A) and (D) only.
