Problem 78e
Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases: Effusion and Diffusion (Sections)
Newton had an incorrect theory of gases in which he assumed that an gas molecules repel one another and the walls of their container. Thus, the molecules of a gas are statically and uniformly distributed, trying to get as far apart as possible from one another and the vessel walls. This repulsion gives rise to pressure. Explain why Charles s law argues for the kineticmolecular theory and against Newton’s model.

Problem 78e

Newton had an incorrect theory of gases in which he assumed that an gas molecules repel one another and the walls of their container. Thus, the molecules of a gas are statically and uniformly distributed, trying to get as far apart as possible from one another and the vessel walls. This repulsion gives rise to pressure. Explain why Charles s law argues for the kineticmolecular theory and against Newton’s model.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Charle's Law states that the volume of a fixed amount of gas maintained at constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
