Decide which of the following statements are true and which are false, concerning the kinetic molecular theory. 1. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the particles with the walls of the container are the cause of the pressure exerted by the gas.
A. True
B. False
2. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; they are assumed neither to attract nor to repel each other.
A. TrueB. False
3. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be about 1 mL.
A. TrueB. False
4. The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular theory.
A. TrueB. False
5. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be inversely proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.
A. TrueB. False

1. A. True

2. A. True

3. B. False

4. A. True

5. B. False

Explanation:

1. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the particles with the walls of the container are the cause of the pressure exerted by the gas. A. True. The pressure of an ideal gas is higher than the one that would exert a real gas.

2. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; they are assumed neither to attract nor to repel each other. A. True. The intermolecular forces are negligible.

3. The particles are so small compared with the distances between them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed to be about 1 mL. B. False. The volume of the gas particles is negligible.

4. The molecules in a real gas have finite volumes and do exert forces on each other, thus real gases do not conform to some of the assumptions of an ideal gas as stated by the kinetic molecular theory. A. True. We cannot apply ideal gas laws to real gases.

5. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be inversely proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas. B. False. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is assumed to be directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.
