The picture shows to containers filled with a gas, both initially at room temperature
AAA
Ice
Heat
Which statement is correct? (5 points)
The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because they have equal number of particles
The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because they have the same volume
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container A because it has a lower temperature
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container 8 because its particles move faster
Od
D. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because its particles move faster.
Explanation:
Option D is the correct statement. From the excerpt, it can be seen that container B is being heated. The heat that is applied to container B will make the temperature of the gas to increase, thereby increasing the average kinetic energy. This will cause the gas molecules to mover faster and with force hitting the walls of the gas container. At this time, pressure should increase. Also, the volume of the gas increases just as the temperature of the gas also increases.
