2 pts 41. Consider two gases at the same temperature – He with an atomic mass of 4 and O
2 with a mass of 32. Part of the kinetic molecular theory states that all gases have the same kinetic energy at a given temperature. How is this possible since these gases differ so greatly in mass? (one or two sentences should suffice.)
KE is a product of both mass and velocity. Since the mass of He is smaller its velocity is greater.

2 pts 43. Describe how a colloid is similar to a true solution and also how it is different from a true solution. Two or three sentences should suffice.
Colloids are like true solutions in that they are both homogeneous. They are different in the respect that true solutions are clear while colloids are turbid (cloudy). Could also have said something about the particle size of colloids being larger.
Max points were 40.
