The assumptions of the kinetic theory of gasses.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The kinetic theory of gasses describes the relation between the microscopic properties and macroscopic properties of the molecules. The kinetic theory explains the variables of the gasses like pressure, volume and temperature.
Explanation:
The assumptions of the kinetic theory are as follows.
- The gas is made of identical molecules.
- The molecules of the gas move in random directions.
- The energy of every molecule remains conserved between the collisions of different molecules.
- The
heat transfer takes between the molecules. - The total volume of the gas is larger than the total volume of all the molecules.
Conclusion:
Thus, the identical behavior, random movement, energy conservation, heat transfer between the molecules are the assumptions of the kinetic theory.
