  • What assumptions are made in the kinetic theory of gases?

    The assumptions made in the kinetic theory of gases are:

    • The gas molecules are moving very fast and randomly

    • The molecules hardly have any volume

    • The gas molecules do not attract or repel each other (no intermolecular forces)

    • No kinetic energy is lost when the gas molecules collide with each other (elastic collisions)

    • The temperature of the gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules

  • True or False?

    Ideal gas molecules have significant volume.

    False.

    Ideal gas molecules are assumed to have negligible volume.

  • Define elastic collision.

    An elastic collision is when no kinetic energy is lost when gas molecules collide with each other.

  • What is the relationship between temperature and average kinetic energy of gas molecules?

    The temperature of the gas is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules, i.e. as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases.

  • What is an ideal gas?

    An ideal gas is a gas that follows the kinetic theory of gases.

  • True or False?

    Real gases exactly fit the description of ideal gases.

    False.

    Real gases do not exactly fit the description of ideal gases but may come very close.

  • What factors does the volume of a gas depend on?

    The volume that a gas occupies depends on its pressure and temperature.

  • What is the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions?

    In an elastic collision, energy is conserved and particles move away in opposite directions.

    In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and particles usually stick together

  • True or False?

    The kinetic theory assumes gas molecules attract each other.

    False.

    The kinetic theory assumes gas molecules do not attract or repel each other (no intermolecular forces).

  • How do gases exert pressure in a container?

    Gases exert pressure as the gas molecules are constantly colliding with the walls of the container.

    Decreasing the volume of a gas at constant temperature increases its pressure.

    True.

    True.

    The kinetic theory assumes that when gas molecules are far apart there is very little interaction between the molecules.

  • How do intermolecular forces affect gas pressure at high pressures?

    At high pressures, intermolecular forces cause attraction between molecules, reducing the number of collisions with the container walls and resulting in less pressure than expected by the ideal gas equation.

  • What happens to the fraction of space occupied by gas molecules at low temperatures and high pressures?

    At low temperatures and high pressures, the fraction of space taken up by the molecules becomes substantial compared to the total volume.

    False.

    Real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior, especially at low temperatures and high pressures.

  • How does the volume of gas molecules affect the accuracy of the ideal gas equation?

    The ideal gas equation becomes increasingly inaccurate at low temperatures and high pressures because the volume of gas molecules becomes significant compared to the total volume.

  • What causes the pressure of real gases to be less than expected by the ideal gas equation at high pressures?

    At high pressures, intermolecular attractions reduce collisions with container walls, causing the pressure to be less than expected by the ideal gas equation.

    False.

    The ideal gas equation shows significant deviations for real gases, especially at low temperatures and high pressures.

  • How do low temperatures affect the behavior of real gases compared to ideal gases?

    At low temperatures, real gases deviate significantly from ideal gas behavior because the gas molecules are closer together, making intermolecular forces more significant.
