Which of the Following Statements Related to Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases

question 32

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements related to kinetic-molecular theory of gases is correct for an ideal gas?

• A)There is a very small range of measured velocities for the particles in a given gas sample.
• B)When the temperature of a gas sample increases, the velocity of some of the particles increases, while others slow down, so that the average velocity stays the same.
• C)Larger particles move faster than smaller gas particles because they have more momentum.
• D)The average kinetic energy of gas particles depends only on the absolute temperature.
• E)Larger gas particles strike the walls of the container harder, so a given amount of argon in a container will have a higher pressure than the same amount of helium under similar conditions.
