Which of the following postulates of kinetic theory of gases is not correct ?

Gases consist of particles which are in continuous , random motion .

The particles are infinitely small and very close to each other.

The collisions of the particles with each other are elastic .

The pressure of a gas is caused by the collisions of gas particles with the wall of the container .

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

The particles of a gas are infinitely small and stay apart as far as possible.

Incorrect postulate of kinetic theory of gases:

Gas particles move in random motion

Forces between gas molecules are negligible

Gas molecules with higher molar mass have more kineticn energy

Collision between gas molecules are elastic

Gas molecules are in a permanent state of random motion.

Pressure of gas is due to molecular impacts on the walls

The molecules are perfectly elastic

The molecular collisions are elastic

The gas molecules are in random motion.

The collisions between the molecules are perfectly elastic.

The average kinetic energy per molecule of different gases is equal at a given temperature.

The pressure exerted by a gas is due to intermolecular forces.
