How does kinetic molecular theory explain Dalton's law? Select the correct answer below: Gas particles collide with the container with the same frequency regardless of whether other gases are present. Gas particles are different sizes and do not contribute equally to the overall pressure, based on size. Gas particles contribute to the overall pressure based on their molar masses. Gas particles have inelastic collisions, based on their individual identity.

Gas particles have inelastic collisions, based on their individual identity.

Explanation:

Dalton's Law. Because of the large distances between them, the molecules of one gas in a mixture bombard the container walls with the same frequency whether other gases are present or not, and the total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the (partial) pressures of the individual gases.
