KMT, conversions, prop of gases
1 atm=
760 torr= 760 mmHg
Highly compressible and occupy the full volume of their containers; when subjected to pressure, volume decreases; always form homogeneous with other gases; can only occupy a small fraction of the volume in their containers
Gases (vapor)
Gases consist of a large number of molecules (or atoms) in constant random motion (straight line)
KMT Summary 1
The combined volume of all the molecules is negligible compared with the volume of the container (consider volume of molecules to be zero=ideal gas)
KMT Summary 2
Intermolecular forces (forces between gas molecules) are negligible
KMT Summary 3
Energy can be transferred between molecules during collisions, but the average kinetic energy is constant at constant temperature; the collisions are perfectly elastic (means? Because particles are far apart, no loss of energy from system)
KMT Summary 4
The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the absolute temperature
KMT Summary 5
Developed to explain gas behavior; a theory of moving molecules
