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
