State any six assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases
Answers
It stated as
1•Every gass consist of a large no. of very small particles called molecules.gasses like helium,neon are monoatomic.
2•The molecules have no force of attraction for each otger
3•The molecules of gs move haphazardly colliding among themselves and with the walls of container and thus change their direction.
4• The pressure exerted by gass is due to collision of its molecules and this collision is perfectly elastic.
5•The actual volume of molecules of gass is negligible as compared to the volume of gass
6•the motion imparted to the molecules by gravity is negligible as comoared to the collision between them.
( the last two postulates were later on said to be wrong by wandar wall)
hope it helps you.stay blessed☺
Answer:
The basic assumptions of the kinetic theory of an
ideal gas:
(1) A gas of a pure material consists of an extremely
large number of identical molecules.
(2) A gas molecule behaves as an ideal particle, ie., it
has mass but its struchure and size can be ignored as
compared with the intermolecular separation in a
diute gas and the dimensions of the container
(3) The molecules are in constant random motion with
various velocities and obey Newton's laws of
motion.
4) Intermolecular forces can be ignored on the average
so that the only forces between the molecules and
the walls of the container are contact forces during
collisions. It follows that between successive colli-
sions, a gas molecule travels in a straight line with
constant speed.
(5) The collisions are perfectly elastic conserving total
momentum and kinetic energy, and the duration of
a collision is very small compared to the time
interval between successive collisions
