Hint: Let us get some idea about the ideal gas. An ideal gas is a theoretical gas made up of a large number of uniformly moving point particles with no interparticle interactions. Since it obeys the ideal gas law, a simplified equation of state, and is amenable to statistical mechanics research, the ideal gas principle is useful.


Complete step-by-step solution:
We know that when two systems are in contact and no heat is exchanged, they are said to be in thermal equilibrium and their temperatures are the same.
Let the volume and temperature of a 1g molecule of gas beV and T, respectively, and the number of molecules in 1 molof gas (NA)=6.02×1023molecules. The pressure of gas for 1g molecules, according to the kinetic theory of gases, is:
P=13×m×NAV×v2
or,PV=13×m×NA×v2...(1)
m Is the molecule's mass, and v2is the molecule's velocity is the square root of the root mean square speed.
Using ideal gas equation in equation (1)
13×m×NA×v2=RT
or,v2=3×R×Tm×NA...(2)
If each molecule's kinetic energies are E1,E2,E3,....,En the average kinetic energy of each molecule is
E=E1+E2+E3+....+ENNA
E=12×m×v12+12×m×v22+12×m×v32+.......+12×m×vN2NA
where v1,v2,v3,.....,vnare the speeds of each molecule,
E=12×m×[v12+v22+v32+....+vN2NA]
E=12×m×3×R×Tm×NA
E=32×(RNA)×T......(3)
As we that, Boltzmann constant, kB=RNA,thenfromequation(3)
E=32×kB×T....(4)
The average kinetic energy of each molecule and temperature are related in Equation (4). It is obvious that E and T are proportional to one another, i.e.
ET
At absolute zero temperature, kinetic energy of each molecule of a gas is a measure of temperature.
T0E0andv0
As a result, the molecules are motionless at absolute zero temperature. As a result, absolute zero is the temperature at which all molecules have the same speed.

 Note:The kinetic molecular theory of gases explains the physical behaviour of gases. The magnitude of the gas pressure is determined by the number of collisions that gas particles have with the walls of their container and the force at which they collide. Average kinetic energy is proportional to temperature.
