Pressure of an ideal gas is increased by keeping temperature constant. The kinetic energy of molecules

  1. A Decreases
  2. B Increases
  3. C Remains same
  4. D Increses or decreases depending on the nature of gas
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Remains same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kinetic energy of molecules depends only on the temperature, that is, \( \mathrm{K} \propto \mathrm{T}.\) Therefore, if the pressure of an ideal gas is increased by keeping temperature constant, then kinetic energy of molecules remains same.
