in a past paper question in january 2006 unit 2 i am told " the average KE of a molecule is directly proportional to the kelvin temp. T Pressure of an ideal gas given by : p=1/3p<c^2>
Use this information to show that p is directly proportional to T for a fixed mass of gas at constant volume.
I did : 1/3Nm<c^2> = nRT (*2/3)
giving 1/2Nm<c^2> = 2nRT/3
Then 1/2m<c^2> = 2nRT/N
And stated that this shows that 1/2m<c^2> is proportional to T (KE being the kKE of an average inidivdual particle)
however the mark scheme (q 7 part B, see attached file) shows something slighlty different and am not sure what its trying to get at or whether i would get the marks or not. If you could let me know what id have to write or whether what i wrote is correct id really appreciate it. Thankyou in advance.
