Kinetic-Molecular Theory and Ideal Gases

Flashcards based on lecture notes on the Kinetic-Molecular Theory and Ideal Gases.

The Kinetic-Molecular Theory states that molecules are always in __.

motion

An __ gas conforms to all points of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory.

ideal

According to K-M Theory Assumption 1, gas particles are in constant, rapid, straight-line, __ motion.

random

K-M Theory Assumption 2 states that gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles that are __ apart relative to their size.

far

The __ of a gas is equal to the volume of its container.

volume

According to K-M Theory Assumption 3, collisions between gas particles and container walls are __ collisions.

elastic

__ collisions mean that no energy is lost when gas particles collide.

elastic

K-M Theory Assumption 4 states that there are no forces of or between gas particles.

attraction, repulsion

Gas particles do __ exert forces on each other.

not

According to K-M Theory Assumption 5, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on the __ of the gas.

temperature

High temperature means __ kinetic energy and faster movement.

high

Gases behave most ideally under conditions of temperature, pressure, and __ molar mass.

high, low, low

__ is the process where gas particles spread out from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
