Kinetic Theory of Gases - The word 'Kinetic' means due to motion. The Kinetic Theory of Gases is based on the idea that gases consist of atoms and molecules moving ceaselessly and randomly with all possible velocities in all directions. Each of these gas particles has ..

Kinetic Theory of Matter - This theory explains the physical properties of matter in terms of motion of its molecules. According to this theory, every substance (solid, liquid or gas) consists of a large number of minute particles called molecules . A molecule may be defined as the smalle..

Momentum and Kinetic Energy - We know that all moving objects possess momentum. Momentum of the body is defined as the product of its mass and the velocity. Now let us see how kinetic energy of a body is related to its momentum. Consider a body of mass 'm' moving with a velocity..

Kinetic Stability of Fuels - At normal temperature, fuels are stable even in the presence of air. This is because, the activation energy of combustion reaction is high. When a mixture of fuel and air is burned, a flame has to be applied, that is the mixture has to be ignited. Near the fla..

Kinetic Interpretation of Temperature - We know that a hotter body has greater internal energy than a similar colder body. Thus, higher temperature means higher internal energy and lower temperature means lower internal energy. According to the kinetic theory of gases, the inter..

All gases are made up of large number of minute particles called molecules. Large distances separate the molecules so that the actual volume of the molecules is negligible as compared to the total volume of the gas. The molecules are in a state of constant rapid motion in all directions, co..

All matter is made up of particles called molecules. In normal circumstances it exists in three states. All the molecules of a given substance are alike in all respects. The molecules are separated from one another by the intermolecular space which is more than the diameter of the molecule ..

The total translational energy of all the molecules of the gas is the average kinetic energy of a molecule is from equation (v..

The average translational kinetic energy per gram molecule of the gas is equal to RT. Note : The average translational kinetic energy per garm of gas is (3/2)(R/M) T. Here, M is the molecular weight of the gas. Dividing both sides of equation (1) by N, where [N is the Avogadro's..

At normal temperature, fuels are stable even in the presence of air. This is because, the activation energy of combustion reaction is high. When a mixture of fuel and air is burned, a flame has to be applied, that is the mixture has to be ignited. Near the flame, the contents are raised to hi..
