Document Summary
Starts with a set of assumptions about the microscopic behavior of matter at the atomic level. Supposes that the constituent particles (atoms) of the gas obey the laws of classical physics. Accounts for the random behavior of the particles with statistics, thereby establishing a new branch of physics. Postulates distances that are great compared with their size. A pure gase consists of a large number of identical molecules separated by. The gas molecules are constantly moving in random directions with a. The molecules exert no forces on one another between collisions, so between. Diffusion: gradual dispersal of one gas through another (equal pressure. Effusion: escape of a gas through a pinhole (or porous barrier) from a region. Both processes depend on the speed of the molecules of high pressure to one of lower pressure. Real gases: non-ideal effects identity of the gas. Temperature is a measure of its average kinetic energy, independent of the.
