kinetic molecular theory

Question 1

KMT was formulated using

Answer 1

formulated using simple model of an ideal gas.

Question 2

this observation serves as the basis

Answer 2

to explain the behaviour of resl gas

Question 3

five postulates that can derived the ideal gas laws

Answer 3

1. gases sre composed of VERY SMALL PARTICLES
2. The distances between gas particles are very great that the volume of a gas is MOSTLY EMPTY SPACE
3. PRESSURE IS EXERTED when the particles hit the sides of the container.
4. Collisions between gas particles or with the walls of the containers are PERFECTLY ELASTIC, that is, no energy of motion (kinetic energy) is lost.
5. Average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature.
