What is the kinetic theory of gases??
Answers
Answer: The kinetic theory of gases explains the macroscopic properties of gases, such as volume, pressure, and temperature, as well as transport properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity. The model also accounts for related phenomena, such as Brownian motion.
Explanation: The kinetic theory of gases is a historically significant, but simple, model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases, with which many principal concepts of thermodynamics were established. The model describes a gas as a large number of identical submicroscopic particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. Their size is assumed to be much smaller than the average distance between the particles. The particles undergo random elastic collisions between themselves and with the enclosing walls of the container. The basic version of the model describes the ideal gas, and considers no other interactions between the particles and, thus, the nature of kinetic energy transfers during collisions is strictly thermal.
a) All gases are coposed of tiny particles called molecules.
b) They are in continues motion.
c) They collied between eacher other and with the walls of the vessels.
d) There are no attractive force between the molecules
e) Volume of the ga can br neglected compared to the total volume
f) Pressure of the gas due to the collision of molecules on the wall
