Question

Give various postulate of kinetic theory of gases

Answer 1

This theory is based on the following postulates, orassumptions. Gases are composed of a large number of particles that behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion. ... Collisions between gasparticles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic.

Answer 2

Answer:

Kinetic theory of gases provides the sound theoretical basis for the various gas laws.

The kinetic theory of gases is based on the following postulates:-

(i) The actual volume of the gas molecules is negligible in comparison to the total volume of the container in which it is kept.

(ii) There are no interaction between the gas molecules.

(iii) The gas consists of extremely small particles which are in constant random motion.

(iv) The particles of gas collide with each other and with the walls of the container.

(v) The collisions are perfectly elastic.

(vi) Different particles of the gas, have different speeds.

(vii) The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
