Content
Phenomena supporting the kinetic theory of matter: melting, vaporization, boiling, freezing and condensation, explained in terms of molecular motion and Brownian movement. Boyle's, Charles's, Avogadro's, Gay-Lussac's, Graham's and Dalton's laws of partial pressure; molar volume and atomicity of gases; ideal gas equation PV = nRT; relationship between vapour density and relative molecular mass; ideal and real gases.
Objective
Apply the theory to distinguish solids, liquids and gases; deduce reasons for changes of state; draw inferences based on molecular motion; deduce gas laws from expressions, statements or data; interpret graphs related to gas laws; perform simple calculations using gas laws, equations and relationships; state factors responsible for deviations of real gases from ideal behaviour.
