Gaseous State

Ideal Gas Equation

1. The ideal gas equation is given by PV = nRT, where:
   • P = Pressure
   • V = Volume
   • n = Number of moles
   • R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K)
   • T = Temperature in Kelvin
2. This equation is derived by combining Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, and Avogadro’s law.
3. The ideal gas equation assumes that gases behave perfectly under all conditions

Overview of Gas Laws

1. Gas laws describe the behavior of gases under various conditions of pressure, temperature, and volume.
2. These laws are based on the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that gas molecules are in constant random motion.
3. The major gas laws include Boyle’s law, Charles’s law, and Avogadro’s law.
4. The combined gas laws form the foundation for the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.
