  2. Nitrogen (N2)
  3. Hydrogen (H2)
  4. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following gases would have the highest average speed at the same temperature? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that gases at the same temperature move at different speeds based on their mass.
  • Step 2: Remember that lighter gases (those with lower molar mass) move faster than heavier gases.
  • Step 3: Identify the gases given in the question and find their molar masses.
  • 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.
