Consider the same two pure samples of gas.Sample ASample BThe particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B.Which sample has the higher temperature?

Answer 1

The temperature of a gas is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its particles. If the particles in sample A have a higher average kinetic energy than the particles in sample B, then sample A must have a higher temperature than sample B. Therefore, sample A has the higher temperature.
