CBSEENCH11008402

If a gas expands at constant temperature, it indicates that

  • the kinetic energy of molecules decrease

  • the pressure of the gas increases

  • the kinetic energy of molecules remains the same

  • the number of the molecules of as increases

Solution

C.

the kinetic energy of molecules remains the same

KE space equals space 3 over 2 space RT
KE proportional to space straight T
here, the temperature of the gas remains constant, hence kinetic energy of molecules remains the same.
