Answer 2

The average kinetic energy of a gas depends only on its temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average kinetic energy of particles in a gas can be found using the equation

`\displaystyle \text{Average K.E.} = (3)/(2)k\cdot T`,

where

• 
  `k` is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and
• 
  `T` is the absolute temperature of this gas (the one in degree Kelvins.)

As seen in this equation, the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas depends only on the temperature of the gas. Also, since the question is asking for the average not the total kinetic energy, the number of particles in this gas doesn't matter, either.
