Question

Name the basic assumptions that the kinetic theory makes about gases.

Answer 1

These are my own outlined notes on the kinetic theory of gases. Some are extra tidbits added. The general idea is there.

Kinetic molecular theory of gases
• 2 gases at same temp have save average molecular kinetic energy.
• Pv=nRT
• Gas expands when heated at constant pressure
• Pressure INC when gas compressed at constant temp
• Gases are always in continuous random motion
• Volume of gases is negligible to total volume of container
• Energy can be transferred to molecules during collisions, so the average kinetic energy between gases is the same
• Average kinetic energy proportional to temperature
• As temp INC, kinetic energy INC, and intermolecular forces DEC as speed and distance INC
• As the volume of the gas container INC, the entropy INC
