19-2 Ideal gases:
Boyle’s Law describes the inverse proportional relationship between pressure and volume at a
constant temperature and a fixed amount of gas. This law came from a manipulation of the
Ideal Gas Law.
p∝1/V ----------------------------------(1)
Charles's Law describes the directly proportional relationship between the volume and
temperature (in Kelvin) of a fixed amount of gas, when the pressure is held constant.
V∝T ------------------------------------------(2)
By combining two equations and the fact that V ∝ n, we can write the ideal gas equation
pV=nRT [R in terms of mole]
𝑁
Boltzmann constant, k = R/NA NAk = R k=R nR = Nk [N = nNA]
𝑛
pV=NkT [k in terms of molecule]
Ideal gas: It governs the macroscopic properties. We can deduce many properties of the ideal
gas in a simple way. Although there is no such thing in nature as a truly ideal gas, all real gases
approach the ideal state at low enough densities their molecules are far enough apart that they
do not interact with one another.
19-2 Work done by an ideal gas at constant temperature:
Suppose that we allow the ideal gas to expand from an initial volume Vi to a final volume Vf while
we keep the temperature T of the gas constant. Such a process, at constant temperature, is called
an isothermal expansion (and the reverse is called an isothermal compression).

19-2 Work done at constant volume:
If the volume of the gas is constant, then the work done is as follows:
W = p∆V = p(V-V) = 0
W=0
If the volume changes while the pressure p of the gas is held constant, then
the work done is as follows:

Problems 4:
A quantity of ideal gas at 10.0 0C and 100 kPa occupies a volume of 2.50 m3. (a) How many
moles of the gas are present? (b) If the pressure is now raised to 300 kPa and the temperature
is raised to 30.0 0C, how much volume does the gas occupy? Assume no leaks.
