The kinetic molecular theory (KMT) and gas laws explain how gases behave under different conditions. This comprehensive guide covers the fundamental principles of Kinetic Molecular Theory real gases differences and gas laws that govern behavior of gases temperature pressure changes.
- KMT describes gases as collections of particles in constant random motion
- Real gases deviate from ideal behavior due to particle volume and attractive forces
- Gas laws mathematically describe relationships between temperature, pressure, and volume
- Charles' Law gas volume temperature relationship shows direct proportionality at constant pressure
- Combined gas laws integrate multiple variables to predict gas behavior
