Overview

1. Equipartition of Energy $E \; = E_x \; + \; E_y \; + \; E_z \; + and \; so \; on…$ $E_x \; = \; E_y \; = \; E_z \; = \; …$

2. Degree of Freedom

   • Monoatomic, Diatomic, Triatomic Non-linear (aka Triatomic Cyclic); Triatomic Linear

   • Types of Freedom - Translational and Rotational

3. Derivation of the Formula for Internal Energy

   $\triangle U \; = \; \frac{f}{2} nRT$ (or) $\triangle U \; = \; \frac{f}{2} PV$

4. Mean Free Path

5. The Four Gas Laws (from Chem: States of Matter)

6. The Ideal Gas Equation

   $PV \; = \; nRT$

7. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
