Which of the following statements regarding partial pressures and kinetic molecular theory is NOT correct?
A) The total pressure of a gas mixture will reflect the force with which the gas molecules collide with the container walls, independent of molecular identities.
B) The total pressure of a gas mixture will reflect the frequency with which the gas molecules collide with the container walls, independent of molecular identities.
C) The total pressure of a gas mixture will reflect the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, independent of molecular identities.
D) Molecules of each gas in a mixture contribute to the total pressure in exact proportion to their relative number in the container.
E) Heavier gases contribute more to the total pressure in a gas mixture because their average kinetic energies are higher.
