Kinetic Molecular Theory of Ideal Gases
Theoretical development of ideal gas laws that were determined empiricallyBernoulli et al. (1738)
Main Postulates1. Gas molecules in ceaseless chaotic motion.
2. Pressure (P = f/A) exerted on the container walls is due to the bombardment of the container by the gas molecules.
3. All molecular collisions are elastic, i.e., no energy loss due to friction.
4. No intermolecular forces.
5. Molecules are “point masses”, i.e., infinitesimally small molecular volumes.
6. Absolute T is proportional to the average kinetic energy of all the molecules.

The Model
ℓ x
A
For simplicity, first consider:
1. Only one molecule (i) is present.
2. Molecule’s motion is only in x-direction:
only vix component.
& molecule i will be hitting wall A with velocity vix.
Then, we’ll consider N molecules.

Recall:
At what conditions of T or P, does a real gas behave as if it were ideal?

A “hit” occurs when the centers of two molecules come within a
distance “d” of each other, where “d” is the diameter of impenetrable
hard sphere molecules.

Mean Free Path, = The average distance a molecule travels between collisions

For N2 at 1 atm: = 70 nm 103 molecular diameters
In a container of fixed volume, is dependent on T?
Summary
• A typical ideal gas molecule (N2 or O2) at 1 atm and 25oC travels at a
mean speed of 350 m/s;
• Each molecule collides within 1 ns,
• Between collisions it travels 102 – 103 molecular diameters.
• If d << , gas is nearly ideal. Why?
tfree = Time in free flight between collisions = 1/z, z = collision frequency
= Average distance traveled in free flight = freetv

Lecture Problem #1 (to hand in next week to the Recitation instructor):
Fill in the table below at 1 atm and 25 oC:

Give the full reference for “d”
(author’s last name & first name initial, book title, publisher, city of
publication, year, page number; and exact website address, if from internet).
Explain all the values and interpret them.
Careful with all the units.
Don’t forget to convert “atm” to “Pascal” and that (nm)2 is 10–18 m2.
