1. State the five assumptions of the
Kinetic-Molecular Theory of gases. a) Gases
consist of large numbers of tiny particles. These
particles, usually molecules or atoms, typically
occupy a volume about 1000 times larger than
occupied by the same number of particles in the
liquid or solid state. Thus molecules of gases are
much further apart than those of liquids or
solids. Most of the volume occupied by a gas is
empty space. This accounts for the lower density
of gases compared to liquids and so...

contribution to the greenhouse effect, and
concentrations have climbed steadily from around
280 parts per million at the dawn of the
industrial revolution meaning 0. 028 percent of
the air s volume is taken up by the gas to around
355 ppm today. As people burn oil, coal and
natural gas, they release carbon that ancient
plants in past geological ages absorbed and
stored. 6 As cement workers process...
