- Select the TRUE statement regarding the diffusion of gas particles. Gas particles diffuse from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration. The rate of diffusion is independent of the velocity of the gas particles. Lighter particles diffuse faster than heavier particles. The rate of diffusion does not depend on the molar mass of the gas particles.arrow_forwardThe collisions that gas particles exert against the wall of a container are having A. forces, compressibility B. kinetic energy dipoles, movement C. forces, pressure D. insignificant, no change in pressure and result in the gas 0arrow_forwardIn a mixture of neon and argon gases, the mole fraction of neon is 0.750. If the partial pressure of argon in the mixture is 75 torr, what is the total pressure of the mixture? Select one: a. 300 mmHg b. 100 mmHg c. 760 mmHg d. 19 mmHg e. 750 mmHgarrow_forward
- Why does a leak in a car tire (at constant temperature) decrease the pressure of the tire? A. The number of molecules decreases. B. It removes kinetic energy from the system. C. The temperature decreases. D. The volume decreases.arrow_forward[References] Use the References to access important values if needed for this question. Tire pressure gauges are often calibrated in pounds per square inch. An automobile tire is inflated to a pressure of 28.8 psi. Express this pressure in atmospheres and in millimeters Hg. Hint: 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 14.7 psi Pressure = Pressure = atm mmHgarrow_forwardIn a 1.000 L sealed container at STP you decompose 100g sodium Bicarbonate if you ignore the volume of the solid products what is the pressure in the container?arrow_forward
- 26. Using the kinetic molecular theory, as the temperature of a gas rises the pressure will also increase because a) the gas molecules collide more frequently and more energetically with the walls of the container. b) the gas molecules collide less frequently with the walls of the container. c) the gas molecules collide more frequently with the walls of the container. d) the gas molecules collide more energetically with the walls of the container.arrow_forwardUse kinetic theory to explain why the pressure in a rigid container will increase when the temperature is increased. which two answers are correct ? 1. higher temperature means more collisions with the container 2. higher temperature means lower velocity of the molecules 3. higher temperature means fewer collisions with the container 4. higher temperature means higher velocity of the molecules A. 1 & 2 are correct B. 2 & 3 are correct C. 3 & 4 are correct D. 1 & 3 are correct E. 1 & 4 are correct F. 2 & 4 are correctarrow_forwardWhat is the partial pressure of CO gas in a mixture of 0.400 moles of CO and 0.250 moles of H2S if the total pressure is 125 kPa? a. 81.3 kPa b. 50.0 kPa c. 31.3 kPa d. 76.9 kPaarrow_forward
