โœฆ Synopsis


Ideal gases

In this chapter we introduce the concept of an ideal gas, a gas of noninteracting molecules. An ideal gas is an accurate model of dilute gases such as the atmosphere.

We further introduce the notion of macroscopic variables, amongst them such familiar ones as temperature or pressure. These macroscopic variables must be related to some property of the microscopic state of the molecules that make up the substance. For example, for the systems we consider here, temperature is related to the mean kinetic energy of the molecules. The linking of the macroscopic and microscopic worlds is the subject of statistical mechanics. In this chapter we give an elementary application of it to ideal gases.
