Equations of State

The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas (in which there is no molecule to molecule interaction).

Thumbnail
Isotherms

An isothermal process is a change of a system in which the temperature remains constant: ΔT = 0.

Thumbnail
Constant Pressure

Isobaric processis a thermodynamic process in which the pressure stays constant (at constant pressure, work done by a gas is $P \Delta V$).

Thumbnail
Problem Solving

With the ideal gas law we can figure pressure, volume or temperature, and the number of moles of gases under ideal thermodynamic conditions.

Avogador's Number

The number of molecules in a mole is called Avogadro's number (NA)—defined as 6.02x 1023 mol-1.

Absolute Temperature

Absolute temperature is the most commoly used thermodyanmic temperature unit and is the standard unit of temperature.
