Question 1

What is Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)?

Accepted Answer

A model of how gas particles move

Particles are in constant, rapid, random motion

Question 2

What is a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution?

Accepted Answer

A probability distribution of the speeds of particles

There are more particles at a speed where the line is higher

Changes with temperature

Question 3

What is the average kinetic energy of a particle?

Accepted Answer

Proportional to its mass and velocity squared

Question 4

What does increased temperature do to the kinetic energy of particles in a sample?

Accepted Answer

Increased temperature = Increased kinetic energy
