PROBLEM:

Using Gas Laws to Determine a Balanced Equation

The piston-cylinders below depict a gaseous reaction carried out


at constant pressure. Before the reaction, the temperature is

Postulates of the Kinetic-Molecular Theory


Postulate 1: Particle Volume
Because the volume of an individual gas particle is so
small compared to the volume of its container, the gas
particles are considered to have mass, but no volume.
Postulate 2: Particle Motion
Gas particles are in constant, random, straight-line
motion except when they collide with each other or with
the container walls.
Postulate 3: Particle Collisions
Collisions are elastic, therefore, the total kinetic energy
(Ek) of the particles is constant.
