Q1
Which of the following gases will have the highest average speed at the same temperature?
  1. Oxygen (O2)
  2. Nitrogen (N2)
  3. Hydrogen (H2)
  4. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following gases will have the highest average speed at the same temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand that gases move at different speeds depending on their mass.
  • Step 2: Know that lighter gases move faster than heavier gases at the same temperature.
  • Step 3: Identify the molar mass of the gases in question. For example, hydrogen (H2) has a low molar mass.
  • Step 4: Compare the molar masses of the gases. The gas with the lowest molar mass will have the highest average speed.
  • Step 5: Conclude that hydrogen (H2) has the lowest molar mass among common gases, so it will have the highest average speed.
