Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Basic assumptions prescribed as per kinetic gas theory should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The major postulates included in kinetic molecular gas theory are listed as follows:

1. All gaseous molecules are in random motion with no intermolecular forces amongst them.
2. The size of the gaseous molecules is quite small relative to the mean intermolecular distance between any two molecules.
3. The collisions are regarded as perfectly elastic that essentially refers conservation of all the kinetic energy.
