9. At standard temperature (0°C), a carbon dioxide molecule travels at a speed of
159.5 m/s. Find the kinetic energy of a carbon dioxide molecule. Substitute into
the formula and verify the final units are in J. (Gas speed is to 4 SF, but
compute KE to 3 SF).
10. Summarize the results from problems 6. through 9. in the table below.

11. What appears to be the relationship between the temperature and the kinetic
energy of gas particles?
12. At a constant temperature, as the mass of gas particles increases, the speed
(increases/decreases/stays the same)? [Circle the correct choice.]
13. Calculate the KE for propane gas at 20 °C moving at 175 m/s. (3 SF) Would the
KE for butane gas be, (smaller/larger/same)? [Circle correct choice.] Would it
be moving (faster/slower/same) as propane? [Circle correct choice.]
14. Both carbon dioxide and propane have the same molar mass of 44 g/mol. Why
does the carbon dioxide KE from problem 9. differ from the propane KE of
question 13.?
15. Using the KE from the problem 13. calculate the actual speed of the butane
molecule at 20 °C. (All to 3 SF) Was your prediction about the speed of
propane vs. butane from question # 13. correct?
