Which of the following is not the assumption of kinetic theory of gases
(a) The actual volume of the gaseous molecules is negligible as compared to the total volume of the gas
(b) Molecules are perfectly elastic
(c) The critical temperature is the measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules
(d) The effect of gravity on motion of molecules is negligible
Correct Option (c) The critical temperature is the measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules
Explanation :
Assumptions of kinematic theory of gases are
a. The gas consists of very small particles known as molecules
b. These particle have the same mass
c. The number of molecules is so large that statistical treatment can be applied
d. These molecules are in constant, random and rapid motion.
e. Except during collisions, the interactions among molecules are negligible.
f. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles depends only on the absolute temperature of the system.
g. It is not the on the critical but temperature
