Question

Thanks What is the macro/micro connection based on? It is based on the fact that the microscopic details of what is happening in the system can be completely ignored and have no impact on the macroscopic state. It is based on the fact that macroscopic quantities, such as temperature and pressure, are related to the average behaviour of the atoms and molecules in a thermodynamic system. It is based on the fact that all atoms and molecules in a thermodynamic system have identical state properties, which can be associated with the state properties of the whole system. It is based on the fact that the temperatures and pressures of individual atoms and molecules in a system are the same as the temperature and pressure of the system as a whole. Which of the following statements about the mean free path of the molecules composing an ideal gas is FALSE? The mean free path is a vector quantity, where the direction is given by the net displacement of a molecule as it bounces around in the gas. The mean free path is the total distance a molecule travels in a certain time Delta t divided by the number of collisions it makes with other molecules in that time. The concept of a mean free path can be applied to any fluid, regardless of whether it follows the ideal gas law. The mean free path of the gas is the average distance a gas molecule moves before colliding with another molecule.

Explanation / Answer

According to kinetic theory of gases

The micro/macro connection is that the macroscopic properties of a system ,such as temperature or pressure are related to the average behaviour of the atoms and molecules

so the second option is the correct

false statement out of the given options is

The mean free path is a vector quantity,where the direction is givenby the net displacement of a molecule as it bounces around in the gas
