B.
carbon dioxide molecules have more energy; therefore, the kinetic energy increases
carbon dioxide molecules have more energy; therefore, the kinetic energy increases
Answer: The correct answer is Option B.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is defined as the energy which is possessed by the motion of a particle. The formula for the kinetic energy follows:
[tex]K.E.=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{N_A}T[/tex]
where, R = Gas Constant
[tex]N_A=\text{Avogadro's Number}[/tex]
T = Temperature
From above expression, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature of the system
[tex]\text{Kinetic energy}\propto \text{Temperature}[/tex]
As the temperature is increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases and vice-versa.
In the given question,
The gas (carbon-dioxide) is heated which means the temperature of the gas is increases and hence, the kinetic energy will also be increased.
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
