On the basis of the kinetic theory of gases, one compares \(1~\text{gm}\) of hydrogen with \(1~\text{gm}\) of argon both at \(0^\circ \text{C}.\) Then:

1. the same temperature implies that the average kinetic energy of the molecules is the same in both cases.
2. the same temperature implies that the average potential energy of the molecules is the same in both cases.
3. the internal energies in both cases are equal.
4. when both the samples are heated by \(1^\circ \text{C},\) the total energy added to both of them is the same.
