Answer:
I used Chat GPT to answer the question here is the answer
Assuming the gas behaves ideally, the answer is (C) The average kinetic energy stays the same.
According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature. If the temperature is held constant, then nR is also constant. Therefore, for a given amount of gas, if V increases, P must decrease (and vice versa) to maintain the same value of PV.
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to temperature, so if the temperature is held constant, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules stays the same. The changes in volume and pressure only affect the density and distribution of the gas molecules, but not their average kinetic energy.
