Homework Statement
What condition must the gas be in for this equation to hold true?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
the gas has to be in constant pressure and volume and temperaute
Nope, not quite (if P,V and T were always constant what would be the point of the equation...? :tongue2:). When we say an ideal gas, what do we assume about the gas?imy786 said:PV= nRT

Sounds about right to me, but I would add ellastic collisions to that list.imy786 said:PV=nRT
condtion to be valid:
the gas has to be an ideal gas,
1.gas composed of seprate particles
2.particles behave as point masses
3.point of mass are far apart and do not exert any force
is this correct??
The equation of state for an ideal gas is PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature.
The equation of state for an ideal gas represents the relationship between the pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of an ideal gas.
The assumptions made in an ideal gas equation of state include that the gas particles have no volume, there are no intermolecular forces between particles, and the collisions between particles are perfectly elastic.
The ideal gas equation of state is derived from the combined gas law, which states that the product of pressure and volume is directly proportional to the product of the amount of gas and temperature, while holding the other variables constant.
The ideal gas equation of state is an approximation and can only be applied to real gases under certain conditions, such as low pressure and high temperature. Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressures and low temperatures due to intermolecular forces and the finite size of gas particles.
