Easily liquefiable gases show larger deviations from gas laws. Comment on this statement on the basis of kinetic molecular theory.

Two gases A and B which do not chemically react, are taken in two 1 L containers. They are found to exert pressures P1 and P2, respectively. When the mixture of the gases A and B is taken in another 1 L container, the pressure exerted is found to be P1+P2. How can you justify this on the basis of kinetic molecular theory?

Arrange the following relevant points in a proper sequence to explain why gases exert pressure.

1 Gas molecules are in random motion.

2 Kinetic energy of gas molecules is proportional to absolute temperature.

3 A gas is made up of tiny particles called molecules.

4 Intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible in gases.

5 During random motion, the gas molecules collide with each other.

6 During random motion, the gas molecules collide with the walls of a container.
