ideal gas law [ī′dēl ′gas ‚lȯ] (thermodynamics) The equation of state of an ideal gas which is a good approximation to real gases at sufficiently high temperatures and low pressures; that is,PV=RT,wherePis the pressure,Vis the volume per mole of gas,Tis the temperature, andRis the gas constant.

| According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, raising the pressure will keep the oxygen gas volume small. Insight into ideal rubbery behavior can be gleaned by comparing equation 8 to the ideal gas law, p = nRT(1/V), (9) where p = pressure; n = moles of gas; V = volume. Rivier says the deviation may stem from subtle differences between the physical properties of an actual network of bubbles and the theoretical ideal -- just as real gases stray from ideal gas laws. |
