Study Notes
Mean Free Path
- The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels between collisions.
- Formula: τ = 1 / √(2πnd2)
- Where n is the number density and d is the molecular diameter.
Molecular Motion Evidence
- Two phenomena demonstrating molecular motion are diffusion and Brownian motion.
Avogadro's Hypothesis
- Kinetic theory supports Avogadro's hypothesis by showing that the number of molecules in a given volume of different gases is the same at the same pressure and temperature.
- R (universal gas constant) is the same for all gases
- This is evidenced from the ideal gas equation (PV/RT = n)
Ideal Gas Behaviour
- Real gases behave like ideal gases at low pressures and high temperatures.
Boyle's Law
- Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
- Formula: P ∝ 1/V (or) PV = constant
Charles's Law
- Charles's Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin).
- Formula: V ∝ T (or) V/T = constant
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
- Dalton's law states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of ideal gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
- Formula: P = P1 + P2 + P3 + ... (where P1, P2, P3, etc. are the partial pressures).
