State the five the five basic assumptions of the kinetic-molecular theory.

Chemistry

Answer:

The primary assumptions are as follows:

Any gas is a collection of innumerable number of minuscule particles which are known as molecules according to Avogadro’s law.

There are no forces of attraction or repulsion among the particles or between the molecules and the surroundings.

The gas particles are always at straight, rapid, fast & random motion resulting in inevitable collisions with other particles and the surroundings that changes direction of motion.

Since the particle are spherical, solid and elastic the collisions involving them are elastic in nature as well i.e their kinetic energy is conserved even after collisions.

The total kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature.

In some books two other assumptions are given as well:

1. The size or area of each particle is negligible compared to that of the container.

2. Pressure of gas is result of the continuous clash of the particles with the wall of the container.

or

The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat. These simplifying assumptions bring the characteristics of gases within the range of mathematical treatment.

Such a model describes a perfect gas and is a reasonable approximation to a real gas, particularly in the limit of extreme dilution and high temperature. Such a simplified description, however, is not sufficiently precise to account for the behaviour of gases at high densities.

Based on the kinetic theory, pressure on the container walls can be quantitatively attributed to random collisions of molecules the average energy of which depends upon the gas temperature. The gas pressure can therefore be related directly to temperature and density. Many other gross properties of the gas can be derived, such as viscosity, thermal and electrical conductivity, diffusion, heat capacity, and mobility. In order to explain observed deviations from perfect gas behaviour, such as condensation, the assumptions must be appropriately modified. In doing so, considerable insight has been gained as to the nature of molecular dynamics and interactions.

How do atoms form new substances?
geniusboy [140]
Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms

Increased irrigation demands: decrease the rate of transpiration increase the rate of surface water evaporation change the amoun
drek231 [11]

Answer: Increase the rate of surface water evaporation

Irrigation is a process, in which the crops are supplied with water, to ensure their proper growth. Increased in the irrigation supply can be because of the environmental conditions like hot summer season or may be because of the type of soil is semi arid or arid means the soil does not retains moisture efficiently. This will result in increase in the rate of evaporation of the surface water.

What is the relationship between the electric field strength at a point and its distances from the source charge?
diamong [38]

Explanation:

The intensity of electric field from a certain point that is assumed is proportional inversely to the square of distance’s magnitude from source. As one can see the electric field intensity is proportional inversely. Then the increase in magnitude of the space between source charge the electric field intensity decreases.

Since the proportionality is to square of distance, hence change or increase in distance is squared and that many times intensity of electric field decreases. So relation between them is inverse proportionality.
