Question:

We have two equal-size boxes, A and B. Each box contains gas that behaves as an ideal gas. We insert a thermometer into each box and find that the gas in box A is at a temperature of 50°C while the gas in box B is at 10°C. This is all we know about the gas in the boxes. Which of the following statements must be true? Which could be true?
(a) The pressure in A is higher than in B.
(b) There are more molecules in A than in B.
(c) A and B cannot contain the same type of gas.
(d) The molecules in A have more average kinetic energy per molecule than those in B.
(e) The molecules in A are moving faster than those in B. Explain the reasoning behind your answers.
