Everything about Ideal Gas Equation totally explained

The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas, first stated by Benoît Paul Émile Clapeyron in 1834. » The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature according to the equation:


    PV = nRT
   where » P is the absolute pressure of the gas,


    V is the volume of the gas, » n is the number of moles of gas,


    R is the universal gas constant, » T is the absolute temperature.

The value of the ideal gas constant, R, is found to be as follows. » T = nRT,, where n=N/NA is the number of moles of gas and R=NAkB is the gas constant.
   The readers are referred to the comprehensive article Configuration integral (statistical mechanics) where an alternative statistical mechanics derivation of the ideal-gas law, using the relationship between the Helmholtz free energy and the partition function, but without using the equipartition theorem, is provided.
