  • Kinetic theory of gasses

    It depends ONLY on the temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy. Corollary: Two gas molecules that "have" the same temperature have the same kinetic energy.

  • Properties of Temperature, Heat and Their Relationship

    The kinetic theory of gases relates temperature and kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by the equation E = 1/2mv2 where m is mass and v is velocity. Average kinetic energy = 1/2kT, where k is a proportionality constant and T is temperature.
