Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures Answers

Recall the postulates of kinetic-molecular theory. Read the list and check all the statements that apply to the behavior of an ideal gas:

Methane (CH4) or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4):

Nitrogen (N2) or ammonia (NH3):

Fluorine (F2) or chlorine (Cl2):

The diagrams to the right show the distribution and arrangement of gas particles in two different containers. According to kinetic-molecular theory, which of the following statements is true? Check all that apply.

For each pair of gases, select the one that most likely has the highest rate of effusion. Use the periodic table if necessary.Oxygen (O2) or hydrogen (H2):

A container with a specific volume “V” changes to “2V.” What happens to the average distance between gas molecules? Assume that pressure and temperature of the gas remain constant.
