Chapter 5, Problem 76E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The validity of Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, Avogadro’s law, and Dalton’s law of partial pressures should be determined with aid of postulates of kinetic molecular theory. And same theory should be used to explain $P$ versus $n$ and $P$ versus $T$ relationship.

Concept introduction: Kinetic molecular theory abbreviated as KMT is foundational model that describes properties of gases. Postulatesof KMT are listed as follows:

• Molecules of gas are very tiny entities situated far away each other.
• Rapid random movement allows gas particlesto move freely in all directions.
• Effective pressure of gas is obtained from resultant of collisions each particleperform with each other and also with walls of container.
• Gas particles do not undergo any significant interaction when they collide.
• Since no loss of kinetic energy is observed and hence collisions are regarded to be perfectly elastic.
