The actual relationship between temperature and kinetic energy is not as straightforward as is implied by this description. There is no one to one correlation between temperature and average kinetic energy for all materials. While the statements may be true for an ideal monatomic gas, they are not accurate for other materials.

Note that equations (7) and (8) are essentially identical (one is the reciprocal of the other), since dqrev = dE.
