the diagrams below show two pure samples of gas in identical closed, rigid containers. each colored ball represents one gas particle. which sample has the higher gas pressure? sample a sample b neither; the samples have the same gas pressure

the diagrams below show two pure samples of gas in identical closed, rigid containers. each colored ball represents one gas particle. which sample has the higher gas pressure? sample a sample b neither; the samples have the same gas pressure

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between gas pressure and temperature

According to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) (where (P) is pressure, (V) is volume, (n) is the amount of gas, (R) is the gas constant, and (T) is temperature in Kelvin). In this case, the containers are identical (so (V) is the same) and they are pure samples (assuming (n) is the same). So (P\propto T) (pressure is proportional to temperature).

Step2: Compare the temperatures

Sample A has a temperature of (T_A=(85 + 273.15)\text{K}=358.15\text{K}), and Sample B has a temperature of (T_B=(95+ 273.15)\text{K}=368.15\text{K}). Since (T_B>T_A) and (P\propto T) (with (V) and (n) constant).

Answer:

Sample B
