Summarize the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How does the kinetic molecular theory account for the observed properties of temperature and pressure?
Added by Jennifer S.
Step 1
- The particles are small compared to the distance between them. - The particles are in constant motion and exhibit no attraction or repulsion towards each other. - The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the temperature. Show more…

What are the basic postulates of kinetic molecular theory? How does the concept of pressure follow from kinetic molecular theory?
State the ideas of kinetic molecular theory of gases. Using the kinetic molecular theory, explain how an increase in the number of moles of gas at constant volume and temperature affects the pressure.
