The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases (5.2.4)

Question 1

• The kinetic-molecular theory of gases is a model linking the macroscopic properties of gases to properties at the atomic-molecular level.

Answer 1

• The kinetic-molecular theory of gases is a model linking the macroscopic properties of gases to properties at the atomic-molecular level.

Question 2

• By the kinetic-molecular theory of gases, P ∝ Nmu^2 / V. This proportionality is related to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

Answer 2

• By the kinetic-molecular theory of gases, P ∝ Nmu^2

/ V. This proportionality is related to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.
