Which of the
following statements is an incorrect interpretation/statement of the
Kinetic Molecular Theory ?
|
|
A. |
The average kinetic energy is
inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. |
|
The
average kinetic energy is directly proportional the the absolute
temperature.
The Correct Answer is A. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
B. |
Molecules exchange energy when
they collide. |
|
This
is a true statement. The net flow of energy is from high temperature
objects to low temperature objects. However, the individual
collisions can have the flow of heat occur in either direction. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
C. |
The size of the molecules is
small compared to the distance separating them for gases. |
|
The
molecules of a gas are very far apart. The size of the molecule is
very small in comparison to the separation of the molecules. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
D. |
The attractive force between
molecules is small for gases with low pressures and high temperatures. |
|
Gas
with low pressure and high temperature for gases has the molecules
extremely far apart. The attractive forces are small because the
molecules are extremely far apart. |
