KMT makes three important assumptions, listed below. although the ideal gas model predicted by KMT is generally reliable to about 3 significant figures, some of these caveats can fail. indicated under which conditions each assumption may not be true.

1. the size of a particle is neglibably small
2. the average kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to the temperature(in kelvin)
3. all particles collisions are perfectly elastic

options: very small volume

very large volume

very high pressure

acidic conditions

always true

very low pressure

organic gases

very high temp

gas mixtures

very low temp
