Problem 5

Which of the following is NOT a gas law? The assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory of gases are as follows:
(A) Gases are made up of particles whose volumes are negligible compared to the container volume.
(B) Gas atoms or molecules exhibit no intermolecular attractions or repulsions.
(C) Gas particles are in continuous, random motion, undergoing collisions with other particles and with the container walls.
(D) Because gases can take on the shape of a container, they are infinitely compressible.
(E) Collisions between any two gas particles are elastic, meaning that no energy is dissipated or, equivalently, that kinetic energy is conserved.
(F) The average kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, and is the same for all gases at a given temperature.
