Question

The kinetic molecular theory states that all particles of an ideal gas are

Answer 1

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.
