What is the effect of temperature increase on the kinetic energy of gas molecules?

1. It decreases.
2. It increases.
3. It remains constant.
4. It becomes zero.

Correct answer: It increases.

Solution

The kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules also increases.
