SHORT ANSWER

1
KE  mv 2 .
1. The formula for kinetic energy is 2
a. As long as temperature is constant, what happens to the kinetic energy of the
colliding particles during an elastic collision?

b. If two gases have the same temperature and share the same energy but have
different molecular masses, which molecules will have the greater speed?

2. Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain each of the following phenomena:

a. A strong-smelling gas released from a container in the middle of a room is soon
detected in all areas of that room.

3. Explain why polar gas molecules experience larger deviations from ideal behavior
than nonpolar molecules when all other factors (mass, temperature, etc) are held
constant.

4. The two gases in the figure below are simultaneously injected into opposite ends of
the tube. The ends are then sealed. They should just begin to mix closest to which
labeled point?
