FAQs

What is an ideal gas? An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that follows the gas laws perfectly under all conditions of temperature and pressure.

Why do we assume no intermolecular forces? This simplifies calculations and holds true for real gases at low pressure and high temperature.

How is temperature related to molecular motion? The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.
