Question

what happens to the average molecular speed in an ideal gas if you triple the volume and keep the same temperature ?

Answer 1

If you hold the temperature of an ideal gas constant, what happens to its volume when you triple the pressure? For T fixed, P is proportional to 1/V or V is proportional to 1/P. Tripling P reduces V to 1/3. ... If T is constant, the speeds of the average speeds and kinetic energy of the atomic particles remain constant.

I hope this helps!
