    a) the volume of the hydrogen container is the same as the volume of the oxygen container b) the number of molecules in the hydrogen container is the same as the number of molecules in the oxygen container c) the density of the hydrogen sample is

  • States of Matter/Gas/Motion/Force

    Why does the same amount of liquid when left in a wider and flatter container evaporate quicker than when left in a narrower and deeper container? The molecules in a gas at rest are going to have much less energy than the molecules in a tornado.

  • Liquid in a vessel in a vacuum chamber

    Above the liquid in the vessel is the gas. The gas molecules are in a state of random motion, in the process colliding with each other as well as the sides of the container.

  • Vapor pressure and temperature

    Since you know the volume of the container, you know the temperature and the pressure, you can calculate the number of water molecules in the gaseous phase using pV = nRT. Note the units of universal gas constant: L*atm/K*mol.

  • Kinetic Molecular Theory: Gases on a Molecular Level

    Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion. 2. These particles move in a straight line until they collide with another particle or the walls of the container. 3.

  • Kinetic theory of gases - Worked out example

    Calculate the mean free path of the molecules. A molecule has a finite size and moves randomly inside the container. While doing so, it collides with other molecules and the walls of the container.

  • Energy of the Molecules of an Ideal Gas

    The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule in a monoatomic ideal gas is E=3/2 kT where k is the Boltzmann constant.
