Question

Recall the postulates of kinetic-molecular theory. Read the list and check all the statements that apply to the behavior of an ideal gas:1. gas particles behave like hard spheres2. gas particles travel randomly3. gas particles are attracted to each other4. energy is lost when gas particles collide 5. average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature6. gas particles occupy most of the space within a container7. gas particles have mass and volume

Answer 1

Chemistry - States of matter - Kinetic Molecular Theory

This is the theory that explains the states of the matter and is based on the idea that matter is composed of tiny particles that are always on motion.

Part 1: Check all the statements that apply to the behavior of an ideal gas

The behaviors that apply are:

1.Gas paarticles behave like hard sphares.

2.Gas particles travel randomly.

5. Average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles depends on the temperature.

Part 2: According to kinetic-molecular theory the one that would not be considered an ideal gas is:

A gas with highly polar molecules that have very strong intermolecular forces.

This is because the theory consideres thhat there are no forces of attraction of repultion between gas particles.
