Which of these is true about the absolute temperature of an ideal gas?
 a. It is directly proportional to the average speed of the gas particles.
  b. It is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.
  c. It does not depend on the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.
  d. It is directly proportional to the volume of the gas particles.
  e. It is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas particles.

Question 2

This curve shows the distribution of atomic speeds calculated from an experiment in which particles of gas are projected through an apparatus as shown on page 217 of your textbook. How would the distribution of speeds change if the temperature of the gas were increased?
 a. The shape of the distribution would remain qualitatively the same, but would shift to the right.
  b. Same as answer a., except that the shift is to the left.
  c. The distribution is not affected by temperature.
  d. The peak gets higher without shifting over while the height of other parts of the curve decreases.
  e. The peak gets lower without shifting over while the height of other parts of the curve increases.
