A 1.56 mol sample of O2 gas is confined in a 37.6 liter container at 20.9 °C. If 1.56 mol of H2 gas is added and the volume and temperature of the system are held constant, explain in at least one sentence what will happen to... a. The average molecular speed of the system. In your answer, you should indicate whether the average molecular speed will increase, decrease or remain the same, and also indicate your reasoning why. b. The average kinetic energy of the system. In your answer, you should indicate whether the average kinetic energy will increase, decrease or remain the same, and also indicate your reasoning why.

Question
A 1.56 mol sample of O2 gas is confined in a 37.6 liter container at 20.9 °C.
If 1.56 mol of H2 gas is added and the volume and temperature of the system are
held constant, explain in at least one sentence what will happen to...
a. The average molecular speed of the system. In your answer, you should indicate
whether the average molecular speed will increase, decrease or remain the same, and
also indicate your reasoning why.
b. The average kinetic energy of the system. In your answer, you should indicate
whether the average kinetic energy will increase, decrease or remain the same, and
also indicate your reasoning why.
