temp. & ideal gas Flashcards
thermal equilibrium
regions of equal temp. / no net flow of thermal energy between the bodies that are in thermal contact because they are @ equal temp.
ideal gas
obeys the eqn of state pV=nRT @ all pressures, p, volumes, v & temp., T & amt of moles, n
assumption of kinetic theory of gases
vol. of each gas particle is NEGLIGIBLE compared to the ttl vol. occupied by the gas
NEGLIGIBLE intermolecular forces of attraction between gas particles
when particles collide, collision is perfectly elastic
particles bounce apart aft they collide with no loss of KE
gas particles are in constant random motion
ave. KE of the particles is proportional to the absolute temp.
thermodynamic temp.
independent of the thermometric property of any particular substance and has an absolute zero
