Question
One of the assumptions of kinetic theory of gases is that there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas. State and explain the evidence that shows that the assumption is not applicable for real gases.
Solution
The assumption of kinetic theory of gases that there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas is applicable for real gases. The evidence for this is that the real gas can be liquified at high pressure and low temperature. This proves that there is force of attraction between the molecules of gas.
