5.16 understand that the Kelvin temperature of the gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules

1) The variable that remains constant for the experiment is the amount of the gas and the volume of the container.
2) When the temperature is increased the particles have a greater average kinetic energy therefore moving faster so they collide with the walls of the container more frequently with more force increasing the pressure.
3) no, the graph is not a straight line.

4) yes the graph of temperature against (average speed of particles)2 is a straight line.

5) the particles in a container have got a range of speed therefore a range of KEs. Some particles will be moving faster and some slower, but on average, T is proportional to KE.
