Specific Heats of Gases

Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Specific Heats of Gases In this article, we shall study the concept of specific heat capacities or Specific heats of gases. Solids and liquids have only one specific heat, while gases have two specific heats: In the case of solids and liquids, a small change in […]

Numerical Problems on Kinetic Theory of Gases

Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Numerical Problems on Kinetic Theory of Gases In this article, we shall study to find r.ms. speed of gas molecules, density of gas, pressure exerted by the gas using kinetic theory of gases. Example 01: Calculate the R.M.S. velocity of Hydrogen molecules at N.T.P. given: Density […]

Pressure Exerted by Gas

Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Pressure Exerted by Gas In this article, we shall study to derive an expression for pressure exerted by gas on the walls of container. We shall also derivation of different gas laws using the kinetic theory of gases. Expression for Pressure Exerted by a Gas Using […]

Kinetic Theory of Gases

Science > Physics > Kinetic Theory of Gases > Introduction to Kinetic Theory of Gases In this article, we shall study a very important concept called kinetic theory of gases, using which we can explain behaviour of the gases. Ideal Gas: A gas which obeys gas laws at all temperatures and pressures is called an […]
