CRS Question, 5–32
ANSWER
Choice 3 accurately reflects the connection between
molecular velocity and an increase in temperature. Figure 5.21 on page 206 visually
shows the relationship. Kelvin
temperature is directly related to molecular velocity - with
greater temperature the distribution of available velocities also
increases.
