Computing:Gas II Booting up……….
What is it about gases? • Gases have always been a mystery to humans • Ancient tribes thought that intestinal gases were part of the human spirit and that being gassy meant that their spirit was upset.
What is it about gases? • Gases are made of particles that move randomly and rapidly • Gasses have mass • They are the least compact form of matter
What is it about gases? • Gases are made of particles that move randomly and rapidly • Gasses have mass • They are the least compact form of matter • Gases are measured with certain properties • Pressure • Volume • Temperature • Amount of gas
Kinetic molecular theory A gas consists of small particles (atoms or molecules) that move randomly and with rapid velocities The attractive forces between the particles of a gas can be neglected. The actual volume occupied my gas molecules is extremely small compared to the volume that gas occupies The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to the Kelvin temperature Gas particles are in constant motion, moving rapidly in straight paths.
