Question

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.a.are inelasticb.never occurc. cause a loss of total kinetic energyd.are perfectly elastic,

Answer 1

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:

1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.

2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.

3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.

Therefore the correct answer will be d.

d. perfectly elastic
