Question

Consider a 1.0 L container of Neon gas at STP. Will the average kinetic energy, average velocity,and frequency of the collisions of gas molecules with the walls of the container increase, decrease, or remain the same under each of the following conditions? a. The temperature is increased to 100 Celcius.

b. The temperature is decreased to -50 Celcius.

c. The volume is decreased to 0.50 L

d. The number of moles of neon are doubled.

Answer 1

a. T goes up. E goes up.
b. T goes down .....
c. V goes down so P goes up which means more collisions.
d. More mols Ne means higher P so .....
