How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles

love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
