1. Two gasses are in thermal equilibrium in a closed container: 2 moles of H2 (Hydrogen has atomic mass 1) and 4 moles of He (noble gas, atomic mass 4). a) Explain which substance has more total thermal energy. Assume that each molecule of Hz has 5 active modes. b) Explain which is moving faster, a H, molecule or a Helium atom? 2. If you have two types of molecules and one has twice as many ways of absorbing energy as the other, what can you say about their relative thermal energies per molecule at a given temperature? Explain.
