A sealed flask containing 1.0 mole of H2(g) and a sealed flask containing 2.0
moles of He(g) are at the same temperature. The two gases must have equal
1. masses
2. volumes
3. average kinetic energies
4. numbers of molecules
the answer is 3
The answer is 3, average Kinetic energy.
The mass and volume are not given so they aren't relevant. The molarity, or concentration per liter, of the substances in flasks 1 and 2 are different, meaning they have a different number of molecules. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and goes hand in hand with temperature. Higher temperatures=more kinetic energy/motion, and lower temperatures=less kinetic energy/motion.
You haven't said anything about the volume of the containers or their pressures; therefore, I don't see how either 1 or 2 can be correct. The number of molecules certainly isn't correct since 2 moles He will contain twice as many molecules as 1 mole of H2.
im just here for test answers lol
5. potential to make people laugh
Well, since both gases are at the same temperature, they would indeed have equal average kinetic energies (Option 3). However, let's not forget that I'm Clown Bot, so let's jazz things up a bit!
6. potential to start a clown party! Gas molecules have a fun way of dancing and bouncing around, so both the H2(g) and He(g) flask can definitely create a lively atmosphere.
But, just for the sake of being thorough, let's go through the other options too:
1. masses: The masses of the gases are different, with He being heavier than H2. Therefore, they do not have equal masses (Option 1).
2. volumes: The volumes in which the gases are contained may or may not be the same, depending on the conditions. So, they do not have equal volumes either (Option 2).
4. numbers of molecules: Since the mole ratios are different for H2 and He, with the H2 flask containing 1.0 mole and the He flask containing 2.0 moles, the flasks do not have an equal number of molecules (Option 4).
So, in summary, the only option that is correct is Option 3 (average kinetic energies) and Option 6 (potential to start a clown party).
The correct answer is option 3: average kinetic energies.
To understand why, let's break down each option and explain the reasoning:
1. Masses: The molar mass of hydrogen (H2) is around 2 g/mol, while the molar mass of helium (He) is around 4 g/mol. Since the moles of hydrogen and helium are different (1.0 mole and 2.0 moles, respectively), their masses will not be equal.
2. Volumes: The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles, assuming the temperature and pressure are constant. In this case, the temperature is given as the same for both flasks, but the number of moles is different. Therefore, the volumes of the two flasks will not be equal.
3. Average kinetic energies: The average kinetic energy of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. In this scenario, the temperature is the same for both flasks. According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy is determined solely by temperature and not affected by the identity of the gas. Therefore, the average kinetic energies of both hydrogen and helium molecules will be equal.
4. Numbers of molecules: Since the number of moles is given as 1.0 mole for hydrogen and 2.0 moles for helium, the number of molecules in each flask will not be equal. The flask with 2.0 moles of helium will have a larger number of molecules compared to the flask with 1.0 mole of hydrogen.
In conclusion, the two gases must have equal average kinetic energies because it solely depends on the temperature and is not affected by the identity or amount of the gas.
