According to kinetic theory of gases, for a diatomic molecule

A.the pressure exerted by the gas is proportional to
B.the pressure exerted by the gas is proportional to
C.the root mean square velocity of the molecule is
D.the mean translational kinetic energy of the✓ Correct
Explanation

We know that, kinetic energy= 3RT/2 Kinetic energy doesn’t depend upon the mass of gas. Therefore, it is proportional to the absolute temperature.
