Consider the following gases, all at STP: Ne, SF6, N2, CH4.
(a) Which gas is most likely to depart from the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory that says there are no attractive or repulsive forces between molecules?
(b) Which one is closest to an ideal gas in its behavior?
(c) Which one has the highest root-mean-square molecular speed at a given temperature?
(d)Which one has the highest total molecular volume relative to the space occupied by the gas?
(e) Which has the highest average kinetic-molecular energy?
(f) Which one would effuse more rapidly than N2?
(g) Which one would have the largest van der Waals b parameter?
