Question

Which of these statements apply to the behavior of an ideal gas?

(This question has multiple answers.)
a) gas particles behave like hard spheres
b) gas particles are attracted to each other
c) gas particles travel randomly
d) energy is lost when gas particles collide
e) gas particles occupy most of the space within a container
f) gas particles have mass and volume
g) average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature

Answer 1

Gas particles behave like hard spheres, travel randomly, occupy most of the space within a container, and have an average kinetic energy dependent on temperature.option g)) average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The behavior of an ideal gas can be described by several statements:

1. Gas particles behave like hard spheres: According to the kinetic-molecular theory, gas particles are assumed to be tiny, spherical particles that move in straight lines until they collide with other particles or container walls.
2. Gas particles travel randomly: Gas particles are in constant rapid motion in random directions until they collide with other particles or the walls of the container.
3. Gas particles occupy most of the space within a container: The vast majority of the volume of a gas is composed of the empty space between gas particles. The particles themselves have relatively insignificant volume compared to the empty space.
4. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature: As the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles also increases. This is because temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy.
