The gas state equation is hidden in many common everyday thermodynamic observations, like for instance in the weather forecast. It is used to calculate certain properties of gases, namely: Temperature (T), pressure (p) and volume (V). These properties together are called the state of a gas. The most common form of the gas equation is the equation for an ideal gas ... An ideal gas is a gas consisting of point-like particles which do not interact with each other (ie, they do not stick together or repel each other). 2, record 1, English, - ideal%20gas%20equation
