Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory of Gases - General Physics

Explore the fundamental principles of gas behavior in this comprehensive physics lesson on the Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory of Gases. Begin with the postulates of the Kinetic Theory, laying the groundwork for understanding gas behavior at the molecular level. Examine individual gas laws, including Boyle's, Charles', Avogadro's, and Guy Lussac's, before delving into the overarching Ideal Gas Law. Practice applying the Ideal Gas Law through solved examples. Investigate the relationship between kinetic energy, temperature, and root mean square speed of gas molecules. Conclude by studying the Maxwell Distribution of Speeds and its dependence on temperature and molar mass. Gain practical problem-solving skills with a guided calculation of gas rms speed based on temperature and molar mass.
