Objectives
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
• State the basic assumptions of the kinetic theory with reference to an
ideal gas
• Explain the differences between real gas and ideal gas.
What is the kinetic theory all about?
What is an ideal gas?
How would you describe the
?? particles present in a gas?
• The force of attraction between the particles is
VERY WEAK.
• The particles move constantly with random
motion and large spaces between them.
• They possess large amounts of kinetic energy.
• Gases either expand when heated or their
pressure increases.
Can you recall some gases?
The kinetic theory and ideal gases
Total: 5marks
You must know the ideal gas equation because it will
not be given to you.
Activity
1. What volume does 2.00moles of argon gas occupy at 270C and
100kPa?
