The diagram shows two samples of gas enclosed in identical containers. each colored ball represents a gas particle. both samples have the same number of particles.
sample a
mass of each particle: 28 u
average particle speed: 980 m/s
sample b
mass of each particle: 44 u
average particle speed: 1,100 m/s
compare the average kinetic energies of the particles in each sample. which sample has the
higher temperature?
sample a
sample b
neither, both samples are the same.
on

The correct answer is Sample B.

Explanation:

The temperature of a system is directly related to the kinetic energy of the molecules. In the case of gases, as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy increases.

The formula of kinetic energy is:

= 1/2 * m *

: Kinetic energy of each particle.

m: Mass of each particle.

v: Speed of each particle.

For sample A:

= * 28 *

= 13445600

For sample B:

= * 44 *

= 26620000

Being >, we can deduce that sample B has a higher temperature.

Have a nice day!

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
