Benzoate said:Room temperature is around 21 degrees celsius, P=1.01*10^5 pascals, and I guess in order to get the volume, I assume the room is equal to the shape of a cube and the length of an average room is around 25 meters. I can now calculate my volume by cubing the length of the side of the room./
An ideal gas is a theoretical concept in physics that describes a gas as a collection of molecules that do not interact with each other and have no volume. It follows the ideal gas law, which states that the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas are related by the equation PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.
An ideal gas assumes that there are no intermolecular forces between the gas particles, which is not the case for real gases. Real gases also have non-zero volume, while ideal gases have zero volume. In addition, real gases may undergo phase changes, while ideal gases do not.
The ideal gas law is a fundamental equation that helps us understand the behavior of gases and make predictions about their properties. It is also used in many practical applications, such as in thermodynamics, chemistry, and engineering.
No, the ideal gas law is only applicable to gases that behave ideally, which means they have negligible volume and do not interact with each other. Real gases, such as those at high pressures or low temperatures, may deviate from ideal gas behavior and require more complex equations to describe their behavior.
According to the ideal gas law, temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the gas particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster and collide more frequently, resulting in an increase in pressure and volume. On the other hand, as temperature decreases, the particles move slower and collide less, leading to a decrease in pressure and volume.
