Increase in temperature of a gas filled in a container would lead to:

1. increase in its mass
2. increase in its kinetic energy
3. increase in its pressure
4. decrease in intermolecular distance

Correct answer: increase in its kinetic energy

Solution

An increase in temperature of a gas raises the average kinetic energy of its molecules, as temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy in the kinetic theory of gases.
