What is n
Number of moles
What is N
Number of molecules
What is Brownian motion?
the random motion of particles. unpredictable motion.
what happens to Crms when the temperature of a gas is raised?
it increases
What are the assumptions made about the molecules of a gas?
the molecules are point molecules.
they do not attract each other.
they move about in continual random motion (for a large sample).
they undergo elastic collisions.
each collision time is much shorter than time between collisions.
