How does kinetic theory explain gas pressure

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rasek [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory can be used to explain each of the experimentally determined gas laws. The pressure of a gas results from collisions between the gas particles and the walls of the container. Each time a gas particle hits the wall, it exerts a force on the wall. In the kinetic theory of gases, gas molecules move around in the most random way colliding and bumping into each other and then bouncing off in the opposite direction.

The molecules exert no intermolecular forces on each other and they have no potential energy associated with them in their motion.

Thus the energy is wholly kinetic.

The concept of pressure is explained in kinetic theory as a consequence of kinetic energy of gases. Let me explain it.

Consider an ideal gas (the ones with which kinetic theory is concerned) in a closed container.

Due to the troublesome motion of the gas molecules, they will collide with each other, some of them shall collide with the container walls and then bounce back and this process continues.

Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15, so the number of neutrons must be _______________.
Nikitich [7]
Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!
