present 3 points It is assumed that all gas particles are behaving ideally and not interacting with one another If that is true the only difference between particles is associated with their mass Since all of the gases are at the same temperature and have the same average kinetic energy their masses don t have to be taken into account All that matters is all of the different gas particles exert the same force on the walls of the container no matter what their mass 3 An odorous gas emitted by a hot spring was found to diffuse 2 89 times slower than helium 8 points a What is the molar

generated or absorbed by the system is required to change the temperature of the surroundings the calorimeter in order to calculate the heat capacity or final temperature of the system in an experiment 7 Aspirin is produced commercially from salicylic acid C7O3H6 A large shipment of salicylic acid is contaminated with boric oxide which like salicylic acid is a white powder The heat of combustion of salicylic acid at constant volume is known to be 3 00 x …
