Answer to Question #113543 in Physical Chemistry for Dion

Question

Which of the following statements is NOT consistent with kinetic molecular theory?

a. Gas particles are far apart from each other.
b. Gas particles are in constant random motion.
c. Gas particles have strong attractive forces between them
d. Gas particles move more quickly at higher temperatures.

Answer 1

As per kinetic theory,molecules are far apart from each other such that intramoleculer forces between them are negligible.

So, (c) Gas particles have strong attractive forces between them.

This is inconsistent with Kinetic Moleculer theory.
