Glossary
Ideal Gas: A hypothetical gas that perfectly follows the kinetic molecular theory.
Pressure: The force exerted by gas particles per unit area on the walls of their container.
Volume: The amount of space occupied by a gas.
Temperature: A measure of the average kinetic energy of gas particles.
Moles: A unit to measure the number of particles in a substance.
Theory
The *ideal gas law* is a fundamental equation that relates pressure (), volume (), temperature (), and the amount of gas in moles (). It is expressed as:
PV = nRT
Here, *P* is pressure, *V* is volume, *n* is the number of moles, *R* is the universal gas constant (8.31 J/mol·K), and *T* is the temperature in Kelvin.
The assumptions of the ideal gas model include:
- Gas particles do not attract or repel each other.
- Collisions between particles are elastic.
- The volume of the particles themselves is negligible.
These assumptions help simplify the behavior of real gases for calculations.
Exercises
- Convert a pressure of 2 atm to pascals.
- Calculate the volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and pressure: 273 K and 1 atm).
