Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false, concerning the kinetic molecular theory. 1. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the particles with the walls of the container are the cause of the pressure exerted by the gas.
A. True
B. False
2. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; they are assumed neither to attract nor to repel each other.
A. TrueB. False
3. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be about 1 mL.
A. TrueB. False
4. The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular theory.
A. TrueB. False
5. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be inversely proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.
A. TrueB. False

1. A. True

2. A. True

3. B. False

4. A. True

5. B. False

Explanation:

1. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the particles with the walls of the container are the cause of the pressure exerted by the gas. A. True. The pressure of an ideal gas is higher than the one that would exert a real gas.

2. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; they are assumed neither to attract nor to repel each other. A. True. The intermolecular forces are negligible.

3. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be about 1 mL. B. False. The volume of the gas particles is negligible.

4. The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular theory. A. True. We cannot apply ideal gas laws to real gases.

5. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be inversely proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. B. False. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
