Consider two gases-oxygen and nitrogen at STP. How will the kinetic energy of the gases be affected if we only increase the temperature of oxygen

Based on Kinetic theory of gases we have, 

Kinetic Energy = 3/2 kb T

where, kb = Boltzmann constant
T = Temperature.

From above equation, it can be seen that kinetic energy of gases is dependent on temperature. Hence, with the increase in temperature of oxygen, kinetic energy of oxygen will increase
