I believe that for "ideal" gasses that is the case.
Isn't pressure the manifestation of the kinetic energy of the molecules, and since the pressure is uniform....
hmm........
on the other hand, if the kinetic energy is the same then the bigger molecules will be moving slower and that doesn't seem quite right either...
it looks like I may have forgotten a few things in the 25 years since I actually studied crap like this BUT
I'm going with yes, they all have the same kinetic energy, final answer.

Think I would have to say no, since for example a carbon dioxide molecule has more degrees of freedom than an oxygen molecule so it can store more energy.
If you were only talking about translational kinetic energy, maybe so.

I disagree. it really is an same regularly happening kinetic power that they have got...no longer speed. evaluation Uranium Hexafluoride (the most large conventional gasoline style) to diatomic Hydrogen (the least large conventional gasoline style). The mass ratio is about 176:a million. the speed ratio is about a million:13.3 it somewhat is, the hydrogen molecule may have an RMS speed it somewhat is 13.3 circumstances swifter than the RMS speed of the UF6 molecule.

Yes they would.

do you honestly think anyone on this site is smart enough to answer that? hahahahahahaha.
