Consider the following gases, all at STP: \(\mathrm{Ne}, \mathrm{SF}_{6},
\mathrm{~N}_{2}, \mathrm{CH}_{4} .\) (a) Which gas is most likely to depart
from the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory that says there are no
attractive or repulsive forces between molecules? (b) Which one is closest to
an ideal gas in its behavior? (c) Which one has the highest root-mean-square
molecular speed at a given temperature?
(d) Which one has the highest total molecular volume relative to the space
occupied by the gas? (e) Which has the highest average kinetic-molecular
energy? (f) Which one would effuse more rapidly than \(\mathrm{N}_{2} ?\) (g)
Which one would have the largest van der Waals \(b\) parameter?
