Ideal Gases 14.3

Ideal Gas Law Describes physical behavior of an ideal gas in terms of P, V, T, and n PV = nRT R = ideal gas constant = 8.31 (L∙kPa)/(K∙mol) = 0.0821 (L∙atm)/(K∙mol) = 62.4 (L∙Torr)/(K∙mol)

Particles take up no space No intermolecular forces Real Gas vs. Ideal Gas Ideal Gas Particles take up no space No intermolecular forces Follows gas laws under all conditions of T and P

In real world NO gas is truly ideal Most will behave like ideal gases at many T and P levels, so we can use the ideal gas law Exception: High pressure, low temperature
