Question

from the following three name the factor on which average kinetic energy of a gas molecule depend first nature of gas ,temperature, volume

Answer 1

The average K.E. of a gas molecules depends only on the absolute temperature of the gas and is directly proportional to it.

Answer 2

Temperature is the correct answer.

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends upon the temperature of the gas. As we increase the temperature of a gas molecule, its average kinetic energy also increases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory states that " the average kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends upon the temperature of the gas". It is independent upon volume and nature of gas.
