Which of following statements are consistent with the Kinetic Molecular Theory? a. Gas particles collide with each other and surfaces without losing any energy. b. Gases have a low density because there is so much empty space between the particles. c. Gases assume the shape and volume of their container because they are in constant, straight-line motion. d. Gases are compressible because the volume taken up by the gas is almost entirely open space. e. All of the above statements are consistent with the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

    e. All of the above statements are consistent with the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

    Explanation:

    for a.;

    Kinetic molecular theory assumes the collision of particles with each other and walls of container as perfectly elastic, that is why no particle loses energy.

    for b.;

    Kinetic molecular theory assumes that particles are of very small size in comparison with the size of container and far apart from each other that is why their density is very low. because density is described as

    Density = Mass/Volume

    So, one can imagine that in a big container, entire mass of all gas particles is very low as compared to the volume of container. So the gas have very low density

    For c.;

    Gases assume shape of their container because they are freely moving with in a container

    For d.;

    For statement in "b", one can easily understand that because according to kinetic molecular theory, particles are very small and at great distances, so they are compressible against any external pressure applied.
