Interpretation:
The correct statements concerning average speed in kinetic molecular theory of gases is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Kinetic molecular theory explains the
• Matter is made up to tiny particles termed as molecules.
• The particles of matter are in constant motion and possess kinetic energy.
• The particles of matter possess potential energy due to repulsion and attraction between molecules.
• The speed of a particle is directly related to its temperature.
• The energy of any system is conserved.

- Graphs showing the behavior of several different gases follow. Which of these gases exhibit behavior significantly different from that expected for ideal gases?arrow_forwardhelium tank contains 25.2Lof helium m 8.40atm pressure. Determine how many 1.50Lballoons at 755mmHgcan be inflated with the gas in the tank, assuming that the tank will also have to contain He at 755mmHgafter the balloons are filled (that is, it is not possible to empty the tank completely). The temperature is 25Cin all cases.arrow_forward5.18 When helium escapes from a balloon, the balloon’s volume decreases. Based on your intuition about stretching rubber, explain how this observation is consistent with the gas law.arrow_forward
- Nitrogen monoxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen dioxide gas. What volume of nitrogen dioxide is produced from the reaction of 1 L nitrogen monoxide gas with 3 L oxygen gas? What volume, if any, of the reactants will remain after the reaction ends? Assume all volumes are measured at the same pressure and temperature.arrow_forwardConsider these four gas samples, all at the same temperature. The larger boxes have twice the volume of the smaller boxes. Rank the gas samples with respect to: (a) pressure, (b) density, (c) average kinetic energy, and (d) average molecular speed. (Green spheres are He; violet spheres are Ne.)arrow_forwardDescribe what happens o the average kinetic energy of ideal gas molecules when the conditions are changed as follows: (a) The pressure of the gas is increased by reducing the volume at constant temperature. (b) The pressure of the gas is increased by increasing the temperature at constant volume. (c) The average velocity of the molecules is increased by a factor of 2.arrow_forward
