Chapter 5, Problem 5.70PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

At high pressure how, the postulate of kinetic theory of gases breakdown inside the volcanoes.

Concept introduction:

The microscopic theory of gases is explained by the kinetic theory of gases and its basic postulates are following:

•The molecules in gas are small and very far apart most of the volume which a gas occupies is empty space.

•The gaseous molecules always randomly move in all directions.

•Molecules of gas can collide with each other and exerted pressure on the wall in which the gas is filled.

•There is no loss in kinetic energy of molecules taking place during the collision and these collisions are perfectly elastic in nature.
