To determine which container has gas stored at the highest temperature, we need to consider the relationship between temperature and the properties of the gas. Temperature of a gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of its particles. This means that the container with the highest average kinetic energy will have the highest temperature.
Given the properties of the gas in each container:
- Container 1
- Low number of collisions with container walls
- Medium average kinetic energy
- Large number of particles
- Container 2
- Large number of collisions with container walls
- Medium average kinetic energy
- Small number of particles with little spaces between them
- Container 3
- Large number of collisions with container walls
- High average kinetic energy
- Large number of particles with large spaces between them
- Container 4
- Few collisions with container walls
- Low average kinetic energy
- Small number of particles
From the given information, the container with the highest average kinetic energy is Container 3. Since temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy, the gas in Container 3 must be at the highest temperature.
Therefore, the container with gas stored at the highest temperature is:
