The energy of all molecules of a monoatomic gas having a volume $V$ and pressure $P$ is $\frac{3}{2}PV$. The total translational kinetic energy of all molecules of a diatomic gas at the same volume and pressure is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}PV$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2}PV$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{2}PV$
  • D
    $3\,PV$

The temperature of a gas is $-68^\circ C$. At what temperature in $^\circ C$ will the average kinetic energy of its molecules be twice that of at $-68^\circ C$?

$Assertion$: The total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules of a given mass of an ideal gas is $1.5$ times the product of its pressure and its volume.
$Reason$: The molecules of a gas collide with each other and the velocities of the molecules change due to the collision.
