Correct answer: ONLY STATEMENT (A) IS CORRECT., NONE OF THE GIVEN OPTIONS IS CORRECT.
-
For an ideal gas, the average translational kinetic energy per molecule is So it depends only on temperature, not directly on pressure or volume.
-
Now check each statement:
(A) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases when the temperature is reduced.
Since , lowering lowers average kinetic energy.
(A) is true.(B) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule increases with increase in pressure at constant temperature.
At constant temperature, remains unchanged. So changing pressure at constant does not change average kinetic energy.
(B) is false.(C) The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule decreases with increase in volume.
Average kinetic energy does not depend directly on volume; it depends only on temperature.
(C) is false.(D) Pressure of a gas increases with increase in temperature at constant pressure.
This statement is self-contradictory: if pressure is constant, it cannot increase.
(D) is false.(E) The volume of gas decreases with increase in temperature.
By Charles' law, at constant pressure, so volume increases with temperature, not decreases.
(E) is false. -
Therefore, only statement (A) is correct.
-
Compare with options:
- A: (A) and (D) only → false
- B: (A), (B) and (D) only → false
- C: (B) and (D) only → false
- D: (A), (B) and (E) only → false
So the correct conclusion is: none of the given options matches.
- Since the stored correct answer is blank, I cannot agree with any provided stored option. The physically correct answer is only (A).
