- The temperature of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules. If a container of ideal gas is moving past you at 2000 m/s, is the temperature of the gas higher than if the container was at rest? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardThe rms speed of oxygen molecules is 460 m/s at 0°C. The atomic weight of an oxygen atom is approximately 4 times the atomic weight of a helium atom. However, the helium molecule is monatomic whereas the oxygen molecule is diatomic.
