What change would occur in the kinetic energy of vapor if a container of vapor is placed at 0 Kelvin?

A.
The kinetic energy of gas particles will increase.
B.
The kinetic energy of gas particles will decrease.
C.
The kinetic energy of gas particles will remain unchanged.
D.
The gas particles will have no kinetic energy.
E.
The kinetic energy of gas particles will be transferred to the container.

1 answer

At 0 Kelvin, which is absolute zero, the kinetic energy of gas particles theoretically reaches a minimum, as the particles come to a complete stop. Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. The gas particles will have no kinetic energy.
