Answer:
B. The same as that for container A
Explanation:
To calculate the average Kinetic Energy per molecule,
Where
is the average kinetic energy per molecule and
is the Boltzmann constant
From the above equation it is seen that
only depends on the temperature of the gas
And since the temperatures of both gases are equal, their average kinetic energy per molecule is the same
