(N/A) According to the kinetic theory of gases,the absolute temperature $T$ of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the average translational kinetic energy per molecule. The relationship is given by the equation $\bar{K} = \frac{3}{2} k_B T$,where $\bar{K}$ is the average kinetic energy and $k_B$ is the Boltzmann constant. For $1$ mole of an ideal gas,the total internal kinetic energy is $U = \frac{3}{2} RT$,where $R$ is the universal gas constant. Thus,temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.
