A basic postulate of the kinetic theory of gases is that the molecules of a gas move in straight lines between collisions. This implies that?

A.

collisions are perfectly elastic

B.

forces of repulsion exist

C.

forces of repulsion are in equilibrium

D.

collision are inelastic

Correct answer is A

Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the walls of the container are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the container.

Equal volumes of CO,SO2, NO2 and H2S were released into a room at the same point and time. Which of the following gives the order of diffusion of the gases to the opposite corner of the room?
(S = 32, C = 12, O = 16, N = 14, H = 1)

A.

CO, SO2,NO2,H2S

B.

SO2,NO2,H2S,CO

C.

CO,H2S,SO2,NO2

D.

CO,H2S,NO2,SO2

Correct answer is D

- At a constant temperature and pressure, the rate lof diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the rate of its relative molecular mass.

- The higher the RMM of a gas the Lower the rate of diffusion and vice versa

- Hence; CO,H2S,NO2,SO2 will be the order of diffusion.
