Question

Explain the concept of pressure exerted by a gas on the basis of kinetic theory of gases.

Answer 1

sorry i dont know but then also i will try

Answer 2

Answer:

According to kinetic theory, the molecules of a gas are in a state of continuous random motion. They collide with one another and also with the walls of the vessel. Whenever a molecule collides with the wall , it returns with a changed Momentum and an equal momentum is transferred to the wall .

According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of transfer of momentum to the wall is equals to force exerted on the wall. Since a large number of molecules collide with the wall, steady force is exerted on the wall. The force exerted per unit area of the wall is the pressure of the gas . Hence, a gas exerts pressure due to the continuous collisions of its molecules with the Wall Of The vessel.
