Which of the following statements best explains why nitrogen gas at STP is less dense than gas at STP?
Which of the following statements best explains why nitrogen gas at STP is less dense than
gas at STP?
Because the
atoms are much more massive than the
molecules, they move more slowly and thus exert less upward force on the gas container and make the gas appear denser.
The
atoms are larger than
molecules and thus take up a larger fraction of the space occupied by the gas.
Because
is a noble gas, there is less tendency for the
atoms to repel one another, so they pack more densely in the gas state.
atoms have a higher mass than
molecules. Because both gases at STP have the same number of molecules per unit volume, the
gas must be denser.
Correct
