Ideal Gas Equation

Introduction

A gas is a state of matter that consists of particles (atoms or molecules) that fills the volume of the container which holds it. These particles are in continuous random motion, and their intermolecular forces are relatively weak. The average speeds of these particles increases as the temperature of the gas is increased.
