The faster the particles of a gas are moving, __________Immersive Reader (1 Point) lower their energy and higher their temperature. greater their energy and lower their temperature. lower their energy and lower their temperature. greater their energy and higher their temperature.

Answer :

Answer:

greater their energy and higher their temperature.

Explanation:

The total kinetic energy of an ideal atomic gas is given by  

K.E = [tex]\frac{3}{2}Nk_bT[/tex]

where  N  is the number of atoms, [tex]k_B[/tex]  is the Boltzmann constant, and  T  is the temperature.

Also, The kinetic energy of a single particle is given by:

K.E = (1/2)mv²  

where m  is the mass of that particle and  v  is the velocity of that particle.

Thus, the faster the particles of a gas (an increase in velocity) leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particle. This increase in kinetic energy in turn leads to an increase in temperature of the particles.
