Use the postulates of the kinetic theory to explain the following:
i)Matter can exist in three states
ii)The pressure exerted by a confined gas decreases as its temperature is lowered
iii)A gas of low molecular mass will diffuse through air faster than a gas of high molecular masseven though both are at same temperature.
The Kinetic Theory can be used to describe the three physical states of matter namely, solid, liquid and gas. In this theory, some basic assumptions has to be made:
a)<Tab/>all matter is made up of extremely small particles
b)<Tab/>these par…
