Two identical containers hold equal masses of oxygen in one and nitrogen in the other.The gasses are held at the same temperature.How does the pressure of oxygen compare to that of nitrogen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure is inversely proportional to the molar mass for equal masses of gas at the same temperature and volume. Since oxygen has a higher molar mass than nitrogen, it will exert less pressure.
