Question
What is an ideal or perfect gas? Explain.

Answer


An ideal or perfect gas is a gas that obeys the gas laws (Boyle's law, Charles' law, and GayLussac's law) at all pressures and temperatures. An ideal gas cannot be liquefied by the application of pressure or lowering the temperature.
A molecule of an ideal gas is an ideal particle having only mass and velocity. Its structure and size are ignored. Also, intermolecular forces are zero except during collisions.
