Kinetic Theory - Q. based on Spec.

1. What is the equation of state for an ideal gas, and how can it also be represented as with is the Boltzmann constant?

2. What are the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases, particularly regarding the random distribution of energy among the molecules?

3. How is molecular movement contribute to the pressure exerted by a gas, as represented by the 2 equations?

4. What is the definition of the Avogadro constant ( N_A ) and how does it relate to the mole?

5. How is the molar mass ( M ) related to the relative molecular mass ( Mr ), and how is the number of moles ( n ) calculated from total mass and molar mass?

6. How can we combine (pV = 1/3 Nmc²) with ( pV = nRT ) to demonstrate that the total translational kinetic energy of a mole of a monatomic gas is given by (3/2 RT) and that the mean kinetic energy of a molecule is ( 3/2 kT ), where ( k = R/N_A ) is the Boltzmann constant and how is temperature ( T ) related to the mean kinetic energy?
