It begins with an account of an idealized version of a gas, a perfect gas, and shows how its equation of state may be assembled experimentally. We then see how this relation between the properties of the gas can be explained in terms of the kinetic model, in which the gas is represented by a collection of point masses in continuous random motion. Finally, we see how the properties of real gases differ from those of a perfect gas, a n d c o n s t r u c t an equation of state that describes their properties. 1.
