AdvancedMCQConceptual21.7k
A student places a sample of \(1.00\text{ mol}\) of \(\text{CH}_4\text{(g)}\) and a sample of \(1.00\text{ mol}\) of \(\text{SO}_2\text{(g)}\) into separate, rigid \(2.45\text{ L}\) containers maintained at \(298\text{ K}\). According to the ideal gas law, the pressure in each container should be approximately \(10.0\text{ atm}\). Which of the following statements correctly compares the actual measured pressure of \(\text{SO}_2\text{(g)}\) to that of \(\text{CH}_4\text{(g)}\) and provides the best particulate-level justification?
