Statement-1: In kinetic theory of gases, we do not take into account the change in gravitational potential energy of the molecules.
Statement-2: The internal energy of a gas depends on the interaction between gas molecules. This interaction is not affected by the change in gravitational potential energy of the molecules.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The change in gravitational potential energy is negligibly small.
