Ideal gases

Equation of state

An ideal gas has the following equation of state:

$pV=\nu RT$

Where p is pressure, V is volume, $\nu =m/\mu$ is number of moles observed, $R=N_{A}k_{B}=6.022$ J/(mol·K) is a universal gas constant.

The gas constant has a value of 8.314 J/(mol.K) or 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

Kinetic theory of gases

Pressure of a gas

let us consider n mole of an ideal gas is placed inside the cubical vessel of side l let the mass of each molecule is m and let it moves with velocity c1
