Question
1. You have a container filled with a gas at 25°C and 1 atm.
Explain why the average velocity, and the number of
collisions with the walls will increase, decrease or remain the
same for each of the following changes. Using your
explanation determine happens to the pressure
a. The temperature is decreased to -15°C
b. The volume of the container is decreased
c. The temperature is increased to 75°C
d. The volume of the container is increased
e. Another gas is added to the container
14
2. Equal amounts of two different gases C₂H and CH are in
two different 1.0 L containers at 40°C. From PV=nRT it is
known that the pressure in both containers is the same. Using
Kinetic Molecular theory it is known that the velocities,
kinetic energy and the number of collisions for both gases are
different. Using that information explain how the pressures
are the same. (Things to think through, which gas is moving
faster and why, which one is larger and what does that do?)
