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.
