chapter 24 Kinetic theory of gases chapter 24
This course explains in detail about behaviour of molecules in a gas. Animations and images are included to simulate in slow motion, the motions of molecules inside a gas. The understanding of collisions of molecules against walls of a container helps in understanding gas pressure being a result of many such collisions.
Topics covered are:
1) Kinetic Theory of Gases : it's purpose and assumptions behind it
2) What is an Ideal Gas ? - definition
3) Assumptions behind the Kinetic Theory
4) Pressure and RMS speed : for an ideal gas
5) Kinetic Theory: interpretation of temperature concept, Equations for KE and Temperature in terms of RMS speed
6) Brownian Motion
7) Vapor and Critical Temperature of a gas , Isotherms
8) Evaporation and Kinetic Energy of molecules
9) Dew Point :- Air temperature, and Saturation Vapor Pressure
10) Solved problems
