If the temperature of a volume of dieal gas ncreases for 100 to 200, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the molecules?

It increases but less than double

Explanation:

As the temperature of a gas increase, the average kinetic energy of the gas increases. The kinetic energy of a gas is the thermal energy that the gas contains.

We know, the kinetic energy of an ideal gas is given by :

where, R = gas constant

            T = absolute temperature

            M = molecular mass of the gas

From the above law, we get

Thus, if we increase the temperature then the average kinetic energy of the ideal gas increases.

In the context, if the temperature of the ideal gas increases from 100°C to 200°C, then

Therefore,

Thus the average kinetic energy of the molecule increases but it increases 1.12 times which is less than the double.

Thus, the answer is " It increases but less that double".
