The kinetic theory of gasses is based upon a number of assumptions.
Place ticks (✓) next to the correct assumptions in Table 1.1.
Possible statements of the kinetic theory of gases | Place a tick (✓) here |
The time of a collision is equal to the time between collisions |
|
The molecules are mostly stationary but move upon collision with another molecule |
|
Molecules of gas behave as identical, hard, perfectly elastic spheres |
|
The volume of molecules is significant compared to the volume of the container |
|
The time of a collision is negligible compared to the time between collisions |
|
There are no forces of attraction or repulsion between the molecules |
|
The molecules are in continuous random motion |
|
The molecules all have mass, so are attracted towards each other |
|
The volume of the molecules is negligible compared to the volume of the container |
Draw a circle around the correct symbol for the mean square speed of molecules in an ideal gas.
