Kinetic Model of Gases Section 1.9, 1.11 Assumptions A gas consists of molecules in ceaseless random motion The size of the molecules is negligible in the sense that their diameters are much smaller than the average distance traveled between collisions The molecules do not interact, except during collisions Pressure of a gas M molecular weight; V volume c root-mean-square speed (rms speed) Speed of gases r.m.s. speed mean speed Kinetic Energy of Molecules Ek = 3/2 RT Ek kinetic energy; T temperature; R gas constant The average kinetic energy per molecule Partial Pressure Dalton’s Law T
