-- Take the original temperature in °C .

-- Add 273.

-- Double the number you have now.

-- Subtract 273. Now you have the new temp in °C .

Answer:

if kinetic energy is doubled than temperature of the gas must be double

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that average kinetic energy of the gas atom is known as


U = (f)/(2)nRT

here we know that

f = degrees of freedom

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

now we know that average kinetic energy of the gas is double that of initial value

so from above formula we can say that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

so here if kinetic energy is doubled than temperature of the gas must be double
