Increase in temperature of a gas filled in a container would lead to [NEET 2019]
✓ Correct answer: c) increase in its kinetic energy
ExplanationWhen we increase the temperature in a gas- filled container the molecules of the gas get vibrate and they start moving or have some motion.Therefore kinetic energy comes into the picture.The kinetic energy is written as; Now, From mathematical derivation, we can also see that the temperature is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the gas molecules.When the temperature increases the kinetic energy will also increase.Therefore, an increase in temperature would lead to an increase in the kinetic energy of the gas.
