Kinetic Molecular Theory Flashcards
1
Q
Postulate 1
A
Particles of gas are in contact motion straight lines, and collide with the container and one another
2
Q
Postulate 2
A
Gas is mostly empty space
3
Q
Postulate 3
A
Pressure is exerted when the particles hit the sides of the container
4
Q
Postulate 4
A
We assume that the particles do not interact with each other
5
Q
Postulate 5
A
Average kinetic energy is proportional to temperature
6
Q
higher temp
A
More motion/kinetic energy
7
Q
intermolecular force
A
decreases as it goes from solid->liquid->Gas
8
Q
Diffusion
A
Gas particles spread when through an opening
9
Q
Effusion
A
Gas particles that slowly spread through a tiny opening (vacuum
