The Effect of Temperature on Gas Behavior

Procedure
1. Chose any gas from the list box. Gas, Temperature (K), Most Probable Particle Speed (m/s), Average Particle Speed (m/s)
2. Set temperature to any value. Observe the shape of the frequency distribution of speeds graph. Sketch this graph. Record the most probable particle speed (vp) and the average particle speed (vavg) in Table 1.
3. Repeat step 2 for four additional temperatures. Increase the value each time.
4. Choose another gas and repeat steps 2 and 3.

To investigate the effect of temperature on gas behavior, follow the procedure outlined below:

1. Start by selecting any gas from the list box. The list box should contain the names of different gases along with their respective values for temperature (K), most probable particle speed (m/s), and average particle speed (m/s).

2. Set the temperature of the gas to an initial value of your choice. Remember to ensure that the temperature is in Kelvin (K). Once you have set the temperature, observe the shape of the frequency distribution of speeds graph. Sketch this graph, paying attention to the x-axis (particle speed) and y-axis (frequency).

3. Record the most probable particle speed (vp) and the average particle speed (vavg) from the graph in Table 1. These values represent the speeds at which the majority of particles are moving (most probable speed) and the average speed of all particles in the gas, respectively.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for four additional temperatures. Increase the temperature each time to observe how the frequency distribution of speeds graph changes with temperature. This will allow you to analyze the effect of temperature on gas behavior.

5. After completing the investigation for the first gas, choose another gas from the list box and repeat steps 2 and 3. This will help you compare the behavior of different gases under similar temperature conditions.

By following this procedure, you will be able to explore the effect of temperature on gas behavior and observe how changes in temperature influence the speed distribution of gas particles.
