List the five principles of the Kinetic Molecular Theory. For each statement, answer this question: Do you think all gases follow this principle all of the time? Why or why not?
Give at least two examples of thermal expansion from real life. Describe what is happening to the particles in each case.
What are the three factors that influence the pressure of a gas? (number of particles, mass of particles, temperature of particles)
Explain what happens to the molecules of propane as they are pressurized in a propane tank.

Kinetic Molecular Theory
-The molecules of an ideal gas are dimensionless points
-The molecules of an ideal gas are in constant, random, straight-line motion
-The average kinetic energy of the ideal gas molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature of the molecules (Since kinetic energy is the energy of motion, as the temperature increases, you should except the speed of molecules to increase as well)
-When molecules collide with each other, the collisions are elastic
-The molecules of an ideal gas do not exert any attractive or repulsive forces on each other
