NEET Physics Ideal Gas Equation Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The average kinetic energy of a molecule in an ideal gas is independent of the nature of the gas. | Reason (R): The average kinetic energy of a molecule in an ideal gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the average kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to the absolute temperature and is independent of pressure, volume, or the nature of the gas, explaining why both statements are true and R explains A.
