Study Notes
Kinetic Theory of Gases
- Explains the behavior of gas molecules at the macroscopic level
Postulates of Kinetic Theory of Gases
- Gas is composed of a large number of molecules that are constantly in random motion
- The volume of molecules is negligible due to the greater distance between gas molecules compared to the size of molecules
- Intermolecular interactions are negligible
- Collisions between molecules and with the container walls are always elastic
- Average kinetic energy of molecules depends on temperature
Factors Affecting Behavior of Gases
- Temperature (T)
- Volume (V)
- Pressure (P)
- Quantity (n)
- These factors are inter-related and affect the behavior of gases
