The table describes a gas stored in four different containers. Properties of Stored GasContainerProperties1· Low number of collisions with container walls· Medium average kinetic energy· Large number of particles2· Large number of collisions with container walls· Medium average kinetic energy· Small number of particles with little spaces between them3· Large number of collisions with container walls· High average kinetic energy· Large number of particles with large spaces between them4· Few collisions with container walls· Low average kinetic energy· Small number of particlesWhich container has gas stored at the highest temperature?
A gas’s temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its particles: higher average kinetic energy means higher temperature. Container 3 is the only one described as having high average kinetic energy, so it has the highest temperature.
