Respuesta :
The molecules of a gas collide with one another and with the walls of the container elastically.
Explanation:
The kinetic theory of gases is used to explain the behavior of gases. These assumptions were made from the theory:
- a gas is composed of large number of identical molecules moving at different speeds.
- the space occupied by the gas molecules themselves is negligible compared to the volume of space they occupy.
- the molecules are independent of one another .
- the molecules collide with one another and with the walls of the container elastically.
- the temperature of gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
The pressure of gases as explained by the kinetic-molecular theory shows that gas molecules exerts pressure by colliding with one another and with the walls of their container.
When gas molecules hit the wall of a container, they exert forces on the wall per unit area.
