Question
One of the assumptions of kinetic theory of gases states that “there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.” How far is this statement correct? Is it possible to liquefy an ideal gas? Explain.
Solution
The assumption of the kinetic theory of gases which states that- “ there is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas. ” is a correct statement. Ideal gas has minimum force of attraction between the molecules and hence, it cannot be liquified. Liquefaction of a gas can only be done when the force of attraction between the molecules increases, which is not possible for an ideal gas.
