alleryThe average kinetic energy per molecule of any ideal gas depends only on the:
ATerritory
BTrajectory
CTemperature
DTerminology
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Temperature
1. The stated value is the same for argon, chlorine and polyatomic gases.
2. Only one quantity appears in that expression.
3. The average kinetic energy per molecule of any ideal gas is always the same at a given temperature.
4. So the answer is temperature.
