4Q: behavior of gases Flashcards
___ have lower densities that liquids and solids.
gases
in the 19th century, physicists ____ and ____ explained the physical properties of matter.
they found out that we can understand the behavior of gases in terms of the motion of individual molecules.
Ludwig Boltzmann, James Clerk Maxwell
what is energy in motion?
kinetic energy
kinetic energy is measured in what?
joules
1 J=_______________
1 J = 1kg m²/s² = 1 N•m
the findings of maxwell od boltzmann led to different generalizations about the behavior of gases, which became known as?
kinetic molecular theory of gas
was an Austrian physicist notable for his contribution in theoretical physics. He suffered from severe depression and poor health, leading to him commiting suicide in what year?
Ludwig Boltzmann, 1906
KMT was extablished with the following assumptions:
- The molecules of gases are far apart from one another.
- The molecules of a gas are always in constant random motion.
- The particles of am ideal gas exert no attractice forces on one another on their surroundings
- The average kinetic energy of gas molecules depends on the absolute temperature of the gas.
is defined as the force divided by the tkgal surface area.
