Question

On the basis of this theory, explain the compressible nature of gases and the temperature dependence on kinetic energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Kinetic Molecular Theory states that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions.
2. Kinetic Molecular Theory can be used to explain both Charles’ and Boyle’s Laws.
3. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is directly proportional to absolute temperature only
4. ideal gas: a hypothetical gas whose molecules exhibit no interaction and undergo elastic collision with each other and the walls of the container
5. macroscopic properties: properties that can be visualized or measured by the naked eye; examples include pressure, temperature, and volume
