Answer: The correct answer is temperature of the gas.
Explanation:
Average kinetic energy of the particles is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles in a gas molecule. The equation used to calculate the average kinetic energy of a gas is given by:
[tex]K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{RT}{N_A}[/tex]
where,
K = kinetic energy of the gas
R = gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
[tex]N_A[/tex] = Avogadro's number
From the above equation, kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the gas molecule. As, the temperature of the gas increases, kinetic energy also increases and vice-versa.
[tex]\text{Kinetic energy}\propto \text{Temperature}[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is temperature of the gas.
