Abstract for Lecture #14 - The Ideal Gas Law, Gas Stoichiometry and Dalton's Law


The ideal gas is treated as a system with four degrees of freedom. This system obeys an equation of state called the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law subsumes Boyle's, Charles's and Avogadro's laws.

The ideal gas law can be used to make stoichiometric calculations.

Dalton's law of partial pressures is described and its uses illustrated.
