Answer 2

Answer:

1. b. A = B

2. c. A < B

Explanation:

Consider equimolar samples of different ideal gases at the same volume and temperature. (nA = nB)

Gas A has a higher molar mass than gas B. (MA > MB)

1. We can calculate the pressure using the ideal gas equation.

P = n × R × T / V

Since n, T and V are equal, the pressure of both gases are equal as well.

2. We can calculate the root-mean-square of the velocity using the following expression.

v(rms) = √(3RT/M)

There is an inverse relationship between speed and molar mass. Since A has a higher molar mass, it has a lower speed.
