Question

Derive PV=nRT (Ideal Gas Equation)

Answer 1

This is actually a really interesting and fun problem, I believe Boltzmann was the first person to do this. Show me your attempt, and I'll help you where you get stuck.

Answer 3

Yep, most of the times seek for the method (first one). It is easier but the second method is worth to learn.

Answer 4

The second one sort of has the idea of "partial pressures" built into it, which is kind of interesting.

Answer 5

Thank you
