Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2009
The basic assumption in the kinetic theory of gases that the collisions of the gaseous molecules are perfectly elastic implies that the
A
forces of attraction and repulsion are in equilibrium
B
gaseous molecules can occupy any available space
C
gaseous molecules will continue their motion indefinitely
D
gases can be compressed
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The kinetic theory of gases makes several assumptions. One of them is that collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic. This means that no kinetic energy is lost during the collision. If no kinetic energy is lost, and there are no other forces acting to stop the molecules, then the molecules will continue their motion indefinitely.
