Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The postulate in the scientific sense is to be defined. The reason as to why the postulates of the kinetic theory of gases are not proved is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
According to the kinetic theory of gases, there are large numbers of identical particles that are present in gases. These particles are tiny and very far from each other. The volume occupied by the gaseous molecules is almost negligible in comparison of the space that is present between the particles.

Answer to Problem 19.1E
The postulates of the kinetic theory of gases are not proved because they are based on the ideal conditions.
Explanation of Solution
According to science, a postulate is a logical statement. It is assumed to be true without a proof. It is a basic structure from which a theory can be derived. The postulates of the kinetic theory of gases are not proved because they are based on the ideal conditions. The ideal conditions are different from the real conditions.
