• B)The total pressure of a gas mixture will reflect the frequency with which the gas molecules collide with the container walls, independent of molecular identities.
• C)The total pressure of a gas mixture will reflect the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, independent of molecular identities.
• D)Molecules of each gas in a mixture contribute to the total pressure in exact proportion to their relative number in the container.
• E)Heavier gases contribute more to the total pressure in a gas mixture because their average kinetic energies are higher.
