Ideal Gas Law: A gas law is a law that describes the behavior of a gas under certain pressures, volumes, and temperatures. All real gas behaves in the same way. Ideal gases follow five assumptions: 1. Gases consist of large numbers of tiny particles that are far apart relative to size 2. Collisions between gas particles and between particles and container walls are elastic collisions. Elastic collisions- is when there is no net loss of total kinetic energy 3. Gas particles are in continuous, rapid, random motion. They therefore posses kinetic energy, which is energy of motion. 4. There are no forces of attraction between gas particles 5. The temperature of a gas depend on the average kinetic energy of the particles of gas Ke=1/2MV2 This law is usually shown as: PV=nRT. Pressure, V = volume, n= number of moles, R= ideal gas constant, and T= temperature in Kelvin. R numerical is equal to 8.3149 X 10 to the 3rd power joules/killogramsmoletempeture. Charles's law, boyle's law and Avogadro's law can be combined to create this law.
