assumption of kinetic theory of gases
Answers
Answer:
The basic assumptions of the kinetic theory of an ideal gas:
(1) A gas of a pure material consists of an extremely large number of identical molecules.
(2) A gas molecule behaves as an ideal particle, ie., it has mass but its structure and size can be ignored as compared with the intermolecular separation in a diute gas and the dimensions of the container
(3) The molecules are in constant random motion with various velocities and obey Newton's laws of motion.
4) Intermolecular forces can be ignored on the average so that the only forces between the molecules and the walls of the container are contact forces during collisions. It follows that between successive collisions, a gas molecule travels in a straight line with constant speed.
(5) The collisions are perfectly elastic conserving total momentum and kinetic energy, and the duration of a collision is very small compared to the time interval between successive collisions
a) All gases are coposed of tiny particles called molecules.
b) They are in continues motion.
c) They collied between eacher other and with the walls of the vessels.
d) There are no attractive force between the molecules
e) Volume of the ga can br neglected compared to the total volume
f) Pressure of the gas due to the collision of molecules on the wall
