    The physical quantities that describe the gas are pressure p, volume V, temperature T and the amount of matter n
    .


    The unit of pressure p is Pa (Pascals, 1Pa=1N·m -2 ), the unit of volume V is m 3 (cubic meters), the unit of temperature T is K (Kelvin), and the unit of substance n is mol (mole )

    1.
    The concept of ideal gas

    Ideal gas is an idealized model abstracted on the basis of actual gas.
    It is a gas that ignores the gravitational force between gas molecules and the volume occupied by gaseous molecules
    .


    In other words, there is no energy loss in collisions between ideal gas molecules or between molecules and walls, and the gas volume can be compressed infinitely


    The real ideal gas does not actually exist.
    The properties of the actual gas under the conditions of high temperature and low pressure are very similar to the ideal gas and can be approximated as an ideal gas
    .

    Ideal gas equation of state

    The relationship between the ideal gas pressure p, temperature T, volume V, and the amount of matter n is called the ideal gas equation of state

    pV=nRT

    In the formula, R is the molar gas constant (R=8.
    314 Pa·m 3 ·mol -1 ·K -1 =8.
    314J·mol -1 ·K -1 )
    .

    Under different conditions, the ideal gas equation of state has different expressions
    .

    When n is constant, it conforms to the relational expression

    When n and T are constant, it conforms to Boyle's law

    p 1 V 1 = p 2 V 2

    When n and p are constant, it conforms to Gay-lLussac's law

    When T and p are constant, it conforms to Avogadro's law

    Substituting into the ideal gas equation of state, the molar mass of the gas can be found

    In the formula, m is the mass of the gas; p is the density of the gas
    .

    [Example 1-1] At 298K and 101.


    3kPa, the density of gas A is 1.
    80g·dm -3


    (1) The molar mass of gas A;

    (2) The pressure inside the container when the closed container is heated to 400K


    Solution (1) From the derived formula of the ideal gas state equation pV=nRT, get the molar mass of gas A


    (2) From the ideal gas state equation pV=nRT, if n and V remain unchanged, we get


    Then the pressure in the container at 400K is
