The Kinetic- Molecular Theory 2
The Kinetic-Molecular Theory KMT is based on the motions of gas particles. A gas that behaves exactly as outlined by KMT is known as an ideal gas. While no ideal gases are found in nature, real gases can approximate ideal gas behavior under certain conditions of temperature and pressure. 3
Principle Assumptions of the KMT 1. Gases consist of tiny particles with mass but negligible volume. 2. The distance between particles is large compared with the size of the particles themselves. 3. Gas particles have no attraction for one another. 4
Principle Assumptions of the KMT 4. Gas particles move in straight lines in all directions, colliding frequently with one another and with the walls of the container. 5. No energy is lost by the collision of a gas particle with another gas particle or with the walls of the container. All collisions are perfectly elastic. 5
Principle Assumptions of the KMT 6. The average kinetic energy for particles is the same for all gases at the same temperature, and its value is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. 6

Mole-Mass-Volume Relationships 10
Volume of one mole of any gas at STP = 22.4 L. 22.4 L at STP is known as the molar volume of any gas (i.e. 22.4 L/mol.). 11

Real Gases 32
Real Gases Deviations from the gas laws occur at high pressures and low temperatures. At high pressures the volumes of the real gas molecules are not negligible compared to the volume of the gas At low temperatures the kinetic energy of the gas molecules cannot completely overcome the intermolecular attractive forces between the molecules. 33
