                   and 100 °C in m/s and miles/hour units?

              In your own
words, what does this graph tell us about molecular velocities?
             
Click and drag the region below for correct answers

28.1   1.  Gases are made up of particles (atoms or molecules) that travel in straight lines unless
                they collide with something.  Collisions are elastic and no energy is lost.
          2.   Gas is mostly empty space and the gas particles can be assumed to take up no space.
          3.   Gas "pressure" is the result of particle collisions with the sides of the container.
          4.   Gas phase particles don't interact (attract or stick) with eachother.
          5.   The Kinetic Energy of gas particles is proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

28.2   At 0oC, urms = 461.3 m/s  (1031.9 miles/hour)    At 100 oC  urms = 539.2 m/s   (1206.7 miles/hour)
28.3   H2 effuses 4.7 times faster than CO2.     It will take the H2 gas 6.9 seconds.
28.4   Helium diffuses 2.06 X faster than NH3.     It will take NH3 41.2 seconds.
28.5    a. This graph shows how different gases have different speed distributions at the same
               temperature (298 K).  All gases have the same average kinetic energy at the same temperature.
               However, since KE depends on both speed and mass,  heavy gas phase particles will have
               slower speeds than low mass particles.  This can be seen in the distributions as the peaks
               for heavy atoms/molecules is shifted to lower speeds.

                The second graph demonstrates how the speed profile changes for a single gas species (N2)
                As the temperature goes up, the peak shifts right in the direction of higher speeds. 
                Also, the peak broadens for higher temperatures.
                In all cases, the area under the curve is constant.

    up significant space in a container resulting in non-ideal behavior.

29.2 Xe is smaller than CCl4 and takes up very little space in comparison.

29.3 Individual CCl4 molecules interact with each other more than any other
    molecule on the table giving rise to non-ideal behavior.
