Physics 212 Lecture: "Kinetic Theory of Gases." Jan 14, 1998

• Pressure, volume, temperature are macroscopic properties of a gas
• The gas is composed of tiny molecules, each of microscopic mass and size, but large velocity
• The kinetic theory of gases starts with the microscopic and derives the macroscopic quantities
• One result: the average molecular speed rises with temperature

This lecture discusses material in Chapter 14 of Cutnell and Johnson.
