1. GIVE 3 EXAMPLES OF DAILY APPLICATION OF THE KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY.

The kinetic molecular theory of gasses a model that helps us understand the physical properties of
gases at the molecular level. Modern refrigeration is a practical application of the kinetic molecular
theory. When Freon gas is compressed, the walls moving inward (or piston) adds kinetic energy to
the molecules which in turn causes the gas to increase in temperature. The warmed gas is allowed
to pass through external cooling coils to dissipate the extra heat into the environment, then the gas
expands again (walls moving away slow down molecules) to become cooler and absorb heat inside
fridge then start the cycle again. In a cruder form, you could for instance cool a can a soda if the
compressed gas above the liquid was a larger volume by just opening it, through it might require a
thicker material for the can.

2. In Boyle’s Law, what is the relationship of volume and pressure at a constant temperature?

As the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are
forced closer together. Conversely, as the pressure on a gas decreases, the gas volume increases
because the gas particles can now move farther apart.

In simple explanation, the relationship between pressure and volume is known as Boyle's law, after
its discoverer: At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is inversely
proportional to its pressure.
