3. Which of the following is not an assumption made by the kinetic theory of gases? -> The molecules lose energy when they interact with each other or with the walls of the container.
4. Which of the following statements about heat engines is correct? -> A heat engine can only have a Carnot efficiency of 1 if the temperature of the heat reservoir and the temperature of the cold reservoir are the same.
