By what factor would the average kinetic energy of the particles by increased if the temperature of a substance was increased from -49°c to 287°c?

Average kinetic energy of a particle :
0.5 mv^2 = kT/2
so the kinetic energy = kT/2
assuming the same value of K
T1 = -49 + 273 = 224
T2 = 287 + 273 = 560

E2 / E1 = kT2 / 2 / kT1 / 2
E2 / E1 = T2 / T1
E2 / E1 = 560 / 224 = 2.5
so the average kinetic energy of the particle increases by 2.5

Ibelieve its because the stove is a cleaner burning fuel
