Question

Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false.
True False: Real gas molecules behave most ideally at low temperature and high pressure.
True False: Ideal gas molecules have small volumes and exert weak attractive forces on one another.
True False: At constant temperature, the heavier the gas molecules, the smaller the average velocity.
True False: In order for two separate 1.0 L samples of O2(g) and H2(g) to have the same average velocity, the O2(g) sample must be at a lower temperature than the H
2(g) sample.
True False: At constant temperature, the heavier the gas molecules, the larger the average kinetic energy.
True False: As temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of a sample of gas molecules decreases.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

True

True

False

False

True

Explanation:

Ideal behavior of gases is observed at high temperature and low pressure when the gas molecules are isolated from each other.

According to the kinetic theory of gases, gases occupy negligible volume and do not exert significant attractive forces on each other.

The average velocity of gases at constant temperature depends on molecular mass. Heavier molecules possess smaller average velocity than lighter molecules at constant temperature.

At constant temperature, molecules of different gases have the same average kinetic energy but different average velocities since they have different molecular masses. So, the average kinetic energy of gas molecules only depends on temperature.
