Kinetic-Theory of Gases
Kinetic theory of gases is the model or method which was developed in the 19th century by Maxwell and Boltzmann. This is possible as the interatomic force which is of short-range forces that are important for solids and liquids can be neglected for gases…

Chapter U3.60, Problem 6E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason due to which air pressure of ear changes on flying high in a commercial plane needs to be explained with the help of kinetic theory of gases.

Concept Introduction:

Kinetic theory of gases is shown below:

It explains the molecules cannot interact with each other.

It explains the momentum is preserved.

It explains the kinetic energy is preserved.

It explains the collision between the molecules is elastic.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

According to kinetic theory of gaseous substances, gases flow from high pressure to low pressure. In airplane, the pressure changes with the altitude and there is potential gradient generated in between the air pressure in ear canal and the external pressure. Due to this potential gradient, the gaseous flows from high external pressure to low pressure of ear canal and due to which the passenger feels pain in their ear.
