Kinetic Theory of Gases

Relates the pressure, volume, and absolute temperature of an ideal gas in molar and molecular forms.

Gives the pressure exerted by gas molecules colliding elastically with the container walls.

Gives the average translational kinetic energy per molecule and for n moles of an ideal gas at temperature T.

Defines the root-mean-square speed for a discrete collection of molecular speeds.

Calculates the root-mean-square speed of gas molecules at absolute temperature T.

Calculates the mean speed of molecules in a Maxwellian gas distribution at temperature T.

Gives the speed possessed by the maximum fraction of gas molecules at temperature T.

Gives the average energy per molecule and total internal energy of an ideal gas having f degrees of freedom.

Expresses the molar heat capacities and their ratio gamma in terms of degrees of freedom f.

Relates the molar heat capacities of an ideal gas at constant pressure and constant volume.

Calculates the effective molar specific heat and adiabatic index for a non-reacting mixture of ideal gases.

Gives the average distance travelled by a gas molecule between successive collisions.
