If collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls were not elastic collisions what would happen to a gas?

If collisions were not elastic, gas particles would not conserve kinetic energy during collisions. This would result in a loss of energy with each collision, causing the gas to lose overall energy and therefore temperature. Eventually, the gas would slow down and condense into a liquid or solid state.


In which substance do the particles not interact with each other?

In an ideal gas, particles do not interact with each other. This means that they move independently and only interact through simple elastic collisions.


What are the assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases?

Postulate #1: The force of attraction among molecules are negligible. Postulate #2: The molecules make elastic collisions. (kinetic energy concerved) Postulate #3: Despite contineous motion of molecules, the density remains constant.


The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the particles of an ideal gas?

are small, point-like particles that are in constant random motion, and have perfectly elastic collisions with each other and the container walls. Additionally, they have negligible volume compared to the volume of the container in which they are enclosed.


What does the kinetic theory say in general about gas particles?

According to the kinetic theory, the particles in a gas are considered to be small, hard spheres with an insignificant volume, and all the collisions between particles in a gas are perfectly elastic.

How to explain energy transfer when particles collide?

When particles collide, they can transfer energy through either elastic collisions where kinetic energy is conserved, or inelastic collisions where some kinetic energy is transformed into other forms such as heat or deformation. The amount of energy transferred depends on the mass and velocity of the particles involved in the collision.


The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic this means that?

the total kinetic energy of the gas particles remains constant before and after a collision. It also implies that there is no loss of energy during collisions, and that the particles do not stick together or lose any energy due to the collision.

What does it mean that the collisions of gas particles are perfectly elastic?

In a perfectly elastic collision of gas particles, no kinetic energy is lost during the collision. This means that the total kinetic energy of the particles before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision. As a result, the momentum and speed of the particles are conserved.

What is elastic scattering in nuclear reactors?

Elastic scattering just means scattering of particles through collisions in which total kinetic energy is not lost. Think of the balls on a snooker or pool table as an analogy.

What happens when gas particles hit each other?

When gas particles hit each other, they undergo elastic collisions where kinetic energy is transferred between the particles. This causes their directions and speeds to change, but the total kinetic energy of the system remains constant. The collisions contribute to the pressure and temperature of the gas.


All collisions between gas particles are considered to be perfectly what?

All collisions between gas particles are considered to be perfectly elastic, meaning there is no loss of kinetic energy during the collision. This assumption allows for the conservation of momentum and energy to be applied to gas particle interactions.


Are perfectly elastic collisions common at the microscopic level?

Perfectly elastic collisions, where kinetic energy is conserved, are more common at the microscopic level due to interactions between particles being governed by well-defined physical laws. However, in real-world scenarios, some energy is typically lost as heat or sound, resulting in inelastic collisions.
