Question
Which of the following are properties of an ideal gas?Select one or more:collisions between gas particles are elasticgas particles move randomly in all directions at the same average kinetic energy at constant temperatureeach particle has a negligible volume compared to its surroundingsindividual particles are not attracted to nor repel each other
Solution
All of the options you provided are properties of an ideal gas.
-
Collisions between gas particles are elastic: In an ideal gas, it's assumed that the collisions between the particles (atoms or molecules) are perfectly elastic. This means that there is no net loss of kinetic energy in the collisions.
-
Gas particles move randomly in all directions at the same average kinetic energy at constant temperature: This is known as the principle of equipartition of energy. At a given temperature, all gas particles have the same average kinetic energy.
-
Each particle has a negligible volume compared to its surroundings: In the ideal gas model, it's assumed that the volume of the individual gas particles is negligible compared to the total volume of the gas. This is because the particles are so small and so far apart.
-
Individual particles are not attracted to nor repel each other: In an ideal gas, it's assumed that there are no intermolecular forces; that is, the particles neither attract nor repel each other. This is an approximation, because in real gases, there are always some intermolecular forces. However, for many gases under normal conditions, this approximation is quite good.
