A leak occurs in a chemical reactor with an equimolar mixture of O2, CH4,
C3H9, CO, CO2 gases. After a few minutes, a CO detector located on the
other side of that room, triggers an alarm. At that exact moment, select
among the following sentences, THE ONE THAT APPLIES.
O a The fraction of all these 5 gases left inside the container after the leak will remain
equimolar.
Ob. The CO was the first gas that made it to the detector because it is the lightest of them
all
Oc Methane was detected first because its lower molar mass makes its average kinetic
energy lower.
Od The concentration of CO2 is higher than that of the other gases because it is the
heaviest molecule.
Isure
O e. Among the gases left inside the container, CH4 will be the one in smaller proportion.
