Molecular Kinetic Theory

Question 1

assumptions

Answer 1

gas is comprised of a large number of identical molecules all moving in random directions, molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions between themselves, therefore NO energy is lost in the collisions between the molecules and the container, the transfer of kinetic energy is heat.

Question 2

Brownian motion

Answer 2

random movement of particles in a substance. Brownian motion states that every particle in a gas or liquid is moving and colliding with other particles in a completely random path.

Question 3

Boyle’s Law

Answer 3

a gas with a given pressure varies inversely with the volume of the gas at a constant temperature

Question 4

Charle’s Law

Answer 4

if there is an increase in temperature of a gas in a constant volume, the pressure of the gas will increase proportionally with the temperature increase

Question 5

Pressure Law

Answer 5

for a fixed mass of gas in a constant volume, the pressure (p) is directly proportional with the temperature (T) of the gas
