The translational kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas at absolute temperature $T$ can be doubled by:

The temperature at which the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule is equal to the energy gained by an electron in accelerating from rest through a potential difference of $1\, V$ is:

If the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in a gas is equal to the kinetic energy of an electron accelerating from rest through $10 \,V$, then the temperature of the gas molecule is (Boltzmann constant $= 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \,JK^{-1}$)

$10^{23}$ molecules of a gas, each having a mass of $3 \times 10^{-27} \,kg$, strike per second per $cm^2$ of a rigid wall at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the normal and rebound with a velocity of $500 \,m/s$. The pressure exerted by the gas molecules on the wall is: (in $\,N/m^2$)

$Assertion$: The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of a given mass of an ideal gas is $1.5$ times the product of its pressure and its volume.
$Reason$: The molecules of a gas collide with each other and the velocities of the molecules change due to the collision.
