To determine which container has the gas stored at the highest temperature, we need to consider the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy. The temperature of a gas is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the particles within the gas. This means that the container with the highest average kinetic energy will have the highest temperature.
Let's analyze the properties of each container:
1. Container 1:
- Low number of collisions with container walls
- Medium average kinetic energy
- Large number of particles
2. Container 2:
- Large number of collisions with container walls
- Medium average kinetic energy
- Small number of particles with little spaces between them
3. Container 3:
- Large number of collisions with container walls
- High average kinetic energy
- Large number of particles with large spaces between them
4. Container 4:
- Few collisions with container walls
- Low average kinetic energy
- Small number of particles
From the given properties, we see that Container 3 has the highest average kinetic energy. The other containers either have medium or low average kinetic energy.
Therefore, the container with gas stored at the highest temperature is:
Container 3
