Question

State two basic assumptions of the kinetic theory as applied to an ideal gas.

Answer 1

If you look at the real gas law, the van der waals formula, you can see that there are variables affecting the volume and the pressure.

\((P+\dfrac{a}{V^2})(V-b)=nRT\)

the ideal gas law assumes that particles do occupy any space and that the particles have no interaction (repulsive nor attractive) towards one another.
