Kinetic Theory of Gases: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Kinetic Theory of Gases. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute temperature ($E = \frac{3}{2}kT$). At absolute zero ($T = 0\text{ K}$), the kinetic energy is zero, meaning molecular motion stops.
