As the average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas increases, which of the following occurs? The temperature of the gas increases. The temperature of the gas decreases. The number of particles increases. The number of particles decreases.

Respuesta :

The temperature of the gas increases. Temperature is basically the result of kinetic energy (for the lack of better words at the moment). It has a direct relationship. When kinetic energy is high, particles begin to move faster and thus, temperature will be higher as well.
