Assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases

Question 1

List all 5 assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases

Answer 1

1. Gases are made up of particles that are in continuous rapid, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of the container.
2. There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the molecules of a gas.
3. The gas molecules are so small and so widely separated that the actual volume of all the molecules is negligible compared with the space they occupy.
4. When molecules collide, the collisions are perfectly elastic.
5. The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample of has is proportional to the temperature measure on the kelvin scale.
