Chemistry Module 8, Behavior of Gases
Lesson 1. Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
The word “gas” seems to mean different things to
various people. Some think that it refers to the ‘gas’ that we
use for cooking and heating. Others think that ‘gas’ is the
fuel for automobiles and industrial machines.
So, what is meant by gas? Gas is found everywhere.
It enters our body everyday every time we inhale and exhale.
Do you know that almost 16 kg of gases get into our lungs
everyday? Every time we use perfume spray or aerosol
spray, we encounter gases. Inflating a balloon and opening
a refrigerator are examples of gas in pressure.
