Which of the following quantities are the same for of and of kept at the same temperature in separate containers of equal volume?

  1. ATotal translational kinetic energy
  2. BRoot mean square speed
  3. CPressure
  4. DAverage kinetic energy per molecule

Answer: A, C, D

Translational kinetic energy per mole is and per molecule is , both independent of molar mass (A, D). Equal , , give equal (C). depends on , so (B) differs: is four times faster.
