Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases Flashcards
1
Q
Principle 1
A
The sizes of gas particles are negligible compared to inter-particle distances (negligible volume per particle)
2
Q
Principle 2
A
Gas particles move in continual, random, and rapid linear motion. Particle collisions with container walls cause the gas to exert a pressure (force per unit area).
3
Q
Principle 3
A
Gas particles are free of intermolecular forces and thus neither attract nor repel each other
4
Q
Principle 4
A
Gas particles have perfectly elastic collisions with each other and with container wells. These collisions entail no net energy loss.
5
Q
Principle 5
A
The average kinetic energy of gas particles in a sample is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the sample.
