The table describes a gas stored in four different containers. properties of stored gas container properties 1 · low number of collisions with container walls · medium average kinetic energy · large number of particles 2 · large number of collisions with container walls · medium average kinetic energy · small number of particles with little spaces between them 3 · large number of collisions with container walls · high average kinetic energy · large number of particles with large spaces between them 4 · few collisions with container walls · low average kinetic energy · small number of particles which container has gas stored at the highest temperature?

The correct answer is:

3 · large number of collisions with container walls · high average kinetic energy · large number of particles with large spaces between them

In fact, the temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of its particles, according to the relationship

where Ek is the average kinetic energy of the particles, k is the Boltzmann's constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, the higher the kinetic energy, the higher the temperature. Option 3) is the one where the particles have higher kinetic energy, therefore it is the gas with highest temperature.
