Ok there is a mixture of hydrogen and chlorine molecules in a container.
I need to compare a)the temperature of each gas, and b)the average kinetic energy of the molecules
without doing any calculations.
a) I'm not sure I should answer with T=PV/nR for each one or whether i should just assume that the temperature is the same for both since they are in the same container.
b) from my physics course, I believe this is just Ek = .5mv^2
but I'm not sure how to compare, since I don't know the velocity of the molecules?
any ideas?
