What is one assumption of the ideal gas model regarding energy?.
- A.All gas particles have the same energy.
- B.Gas particles have no kinetic energy.
- C.The average kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to the temperature.
- D.Gas particles lose energy during collisions.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to the temperature.
Explanation
Why this works
This assumption links temperature to the kinetic energy of gas particles, indicating that as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases.
