The kinetic-molecular theory of gases is based on the idea that
An ideal gas is

Temperature Conversions between Kelvin and degrees Celsius
K = C = Properties of a Gas
______- a gas will completely fill any container it is in.
______- gas particles, which are initially far apart can be crowded close together
______- will be ~1/1000th the density of a solid or liquid phase
______- gas particles glide easily past one another
______- process of spreading out spontaneously to uniformly occupy a space Illustrate and describe Effusion Illustrate and describe Diffusion
Rate of Diffusion – depends on two main properties of the gas particles; 1) Size or mass of molecules 2) Temperature of molecules
Lighter and smaller gas particles will diffuse faster than heavier and larger particles.
______molecules will diffuse faster than ______molecules.
Ideal Gas vs. Real Gas Ideal gas - completely conforms to the Kinetic-Molecular theory
Real gas –
