Question

Average kinetic energy related to molecular weight

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The volume occupied by the individual particles of a gas is negligible compared to the volume of the gas itself.
2. The particles of an ideal gas exert no attractive forces on each other or on their surroundings.
3. Gas particles are in a constant state of random motion and move in straight lines until they collide with another body.
4. The collisions exhibited by gas particles are completely elastic; when two molecules collide, total kinetic energy is conserved
5. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute temperature only; this implies that all molecular motion ceases if the temperature is reduced to absolute zero.
