Why can kinetic theory use a statistical treatment of a gas?
AThe number of particles is very large
BMolecules do not move at all
CMolecules are all identical in speed
DCollisions are always inelastic
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The number of particles is very large
A huge number of particles lets average behaviour describe the gas accurately.
