Question

Q10.Mention the faulty assumptions of kinetic molecular theory of gases as pointed out by van der waals.

Answer 1

The assumptions are as follows :

1.) There is no force of attraction among molecules of a gas.

This means the molecules do not exert force on each other

2.) The actual volume of gas molecules is negligible as compared to the volume of vessel.

This means the volume occupied by gas molecules is negligible in comparison to the total volume of the gas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The assumptions are as follows :

1.) There is no force of attraction among molecules of a gas.

This means the molecules do not exert force on each other

2.) The actual volume of gas molecules is negligible as compared to the volume of vessel.
