1. gases are very small and spaced far apart 2.molecules are in constant random straight line motion 3. any collisions are perfectly elastic and no energy is lost or gained 4. the gas particles do not attract each other there are no intermolecular forces

kinetic energy formula
KE = 1/2 MV² (V= speed) mass is in kg V is in m/s and KE is in J

kinetic energy
KE=3/2 RT

root mean square velocity
Vrms = sqrt(3RT/MolarMass) molar mass is in kg/mol, use this for diffusion/effusion problems

Graham's law of effusion
V1/V2 = square root of mm2/mm1 2 gases must be at the same temp can be in grams per mol or rate of cold/rate of hot=sqrt Tcold/T-hot 1 gas, 2 temp temp is in kelvin
