Imagine you have two containers of gas, one labeled gas a and one labeled gas b. gas a has an average speed of 700 m/s and gas b has an average speed of 1100 m/s. both containers are being held at the same temperature. how could you match the average speeds of gas a and gas b?

a. reduce the volumes of both containers.
b. raise the temperature of gas b.
c. lower the temperature of gas a.
d. lower the temperature of gas b.

D. Lower the temperature of gas B.

Explanation: The average speed of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas. Increasing the temperature increases the average speed and decreasing the  temperature decreases the average speed.

R= gas constant

T= temperature of the gas

M= molecular mass

The average speed of gas A is 700 m/s and gas B has a average speed of 1100 m/s. Thus to match the average speed of both, the temperature of gas B is lowered such that the average speed also reduces.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
