Gas Law Internet Activity Conclusion

The phet gas simulation represented a chamber that you were exerting molecules into, whether it was heavy or light. Then you pumped the air out and the pressure and number of molecules would rise with each pump. The "heavy species" were larger molecules, than the "light species". After going through the procedure with each type of molecule I started making comparisons. I noticed that in the lighter species it took more molecules to get around the same pressure. The smaller molecules were also moving much faster, than the larger molecules. This is because it takes more energy for the larger molecule to move. With each pump less large molecules were exerted, than light molecules. This is again because it takes more of the smaller molecules to increase the pressure in the chamber.
