CHEM 24112 Chapter Notes - Chapter 13: Kinetic Theory Of Gases
Homework 13.4: Kinetic Molecular Theory
1. What do we assume about the volume of the actual molecules themselves in a sample of gas,
compared to the bulk volume of the gas overall? Why?
2. Collisions of the molecules in a sample of gas with the walls of the container are responsible for the
gas’s observed ________________________________.
3. Temperature is a measure of the average _______________________________ of the molecules in
a sample of gas.
4. The kinetic molecular theory of gases suggests that gas particles exert ______________________
attractive or repulsive forces on each other.
5. Explain, in terms of the kinetic molecular theory, how an increase in the temperature of a gas
confined to a rigid container causes an increase in the pressure of the gas.
