Question

Three 4−L flasks, fixed with pressure gauges and small valves, each contain 9 g of gas at 281 K. Flask A contains He, flask B contains H2, and flask C contains CH4. Rank the flask contents in terms of:

 

Multiple Choice:

(a) pressure.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C

(b) average molecular kinetic energy.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C

(c) diffusion rate after valve is opened.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C

(d) total kinetic energy of the molecules.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C

(e) density.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C

(f) collision frequency.
 
  
A > B > C
  
A > C > B
  
B > C > A
  
B > A > C
  
C > B > A
  
C > A > B
  
A = B = C
