10 Which sample of argon gas has atoms with the highest average kinetic energy?
(1) 40 g of argon gas at 20°C
(2) 30 g of argon gas at 40°C
(3) 20 g of argon gas at 60°C
(4) 10 g of argon gas at 80°C
Solution:
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy. The higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy. We are looking for the answer choice with the highest temperature. Choice 4 is the correct answer.
