Which best describes the particles in a gas when the temperature rises from 23 °C to 46 °C?

A. The average energy doubles.

B. The average energy increases.

C. The average velocity of the particles increases by a factor of sqrt 2 .

D. The average energy remains constant but the velocity of some particles increases

Respuesta :

I think the correct answer is b. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy so when temperarure rises so will the average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
