1 Chap-19: The Kinetic Theory of Gases
The kinetic theory of gases relates the macroscopic properties of gases (for example, pressure and temperature) to the microscopic properties of gas molecules (for example, speed and kinetic energy). Avogadro's Number: One mole of a substance contains NA (Avogadro's number) elementary units (usually atoms or molecules), where NA is found experimentally to be The number of moles n contained in a sample of mass Msam, consisting of N molecules, is given by (M =molar mass):
