THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY STATES THAT ALL PARTICLES OF AN IDEAL GAS ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION AND EXHIBITS PERFECT ELASTIC COLLISIONS.
Explanation:
An ideal gas is an imaginary gas whose behavior perfectly fits all the assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory. In reality, gases are not ideal, but are very close to being so under most everyday conditions.
The kinetic-molecular theory as it applies to gases has five basic assumptions.
- Gases consist of very large numbers of tiny spherical particles that are far apart from one another compared to their size.
- Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions.
- Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions.
- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent upon the temperature of the gas.
- There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between gas particles.
<span>Charles' law says "at a constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature".
V </span>α T
Where V is the volume and T is the temperature in Kelvin of the gas. We can use this for two situations as,
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₁ = 2.00 L
T₁ = 40.0 ⁰C = 313 K
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 30.0 ⁰C = 303 K
By applying the formula,
2.00 L / 313 K = V₂ / 303 K
V₂ = (2.00 L / 313 K) x 303 K
V₂ = 1.94 L
Hence, the volume of the balloon at 30.0 ⁰C is 1.94 L
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).
Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)
