Which of the following assumptions is incorrect according to kinetic theory of gases?

• Particles of a gas move in all possible directions in straight lines

• There is no force of attraction between the particles of a gas at ordinary temperature and pressure

• The actual volume of the gas is negligible in comparison to the empty space between them

• All the particles, at any particular time, have same speed and same kinetic energy

Which one of the following statement is not consistent with the kinetic-molecular theory of gases?

• Individual gas molecules are relatively far apart

• The average kinetic energies of different gases are different at the same temperature

• The actual volume of the gas molecules themselves is very small compared to the volume occupied by the gas at ordinary temperature and pressure

The stoppers are removed from each container, which are in the same room at the same temperature. Which gas diffuses through the room the most slowly.

• chlorine

• helium

• hydrogen

• nitrogen

Which postulate of KMT explains why gases are so easily compressed?

• All particles are infinitely small and the size of a particle is negligible compared to the container that it holds.

• The particles of gas are in constant motion and move in straight lines.

• The particles of gas do not exert any force of attraction or repulsion on each other. There is no energy loss during a collision.

• The mean kinetic energy of the particles is directly proportional to their absolute temperature.

Each of the containers is shown at the same temperature. In which container is the average speed of the particles the fastest?
