Which statement is false?
A)The average kinetic energies of molecules from samples of different "ideal" gases is the same at the same temperature.
B)The molecules of an ideal gas are relatively far apart.
C)All molecules of an ideal gas have the same kinetic energy at constant temperature.
D)Molecules of a gas undergo many collisions with each other and the container walls.
E)Molecules of greater mass have a lower average speed than those of less mass at the same temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinetic energy of molecules in an ideal gas is directly proportional to their temperature, but not all molecules have the same kinetic energy at the same temperature. The distribution of kinetic energies follows a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, meaning that some molecules will have higher or lower kinetic energies than others at the same temperature.
