Part I: Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) of Gases
Our fundamental understanding of ideal" gases makes the following 5 assumptions.
Describe how each of these assumptions is (or is not!) represented in the simulation.
Assumption of KMT
1. Gas particles are small and are separated by relatively large distances.
Representation in Simulation
2. Gas particles are constantly in random motion.
3. Gas particles undergo elastic collisions (like billiard balls) with each other and the walls of the container.
4. Gas particles are not attracted or repulsed by each other.
4. The average kinetic energy of gas molecules in a sample is proportional to temperature (in K).
