SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the logic behind the derivation of the ideal gas law, PV=nRT, specifically focusing on the pressure equation P=F/A. It establishes that pressure is uniform across a surface, meaning the pressure in a small cube of gas is equivalent to the pressure in the entire container when particle velocities are consistent. The key insight is that the total pressure is derived by summing the pressure contributions from individual particles within the cube, rather than simply aggregating the pressures of the small cubes.

http://quantumfreak.com/derivation-of-pvnrt-the-equation-of-ideal-gas/please check eq.(7)

pressure equation is P=F/A which means, in any region over the surface, pressure will be the same.
for example, if we assume all the particles have the same mean squared velocity, pressure of one cube will be the same as the pressure of the whole container.

I wonder why we add up all the pressure we found for the small cubes, and what's the logic behind it?

You're not adding up the pressure of small cubes, you're adding up the pressure exerted on the cube's interior per particle to get the total pressure.
