Explanation At any place the force work per unit area is the applied pressure. The vessel where the gas is kept, the force applied per unit area of that vessel is called the pressure of the gas. So, Pressure of gas in a vessel = Force applied by the gas in the vessel Total area of the vessel In earth approximately up to 800 kilometres there remains gaseous layer. The gas present at the gaseous layer always creates pressure on the surface of earth which is called atmospheric pressure. So in earth surface the force applied by the gaseous layer per unit area is called atmospheric pressure which is determined by barometer. The normal barometer is produced by a glass tube which is filled by mercury and having dimension more than 76 cm have put upon a container containing mercury...

Ideal and Real Gases

Ideal gases obey conditions of the general gas laws under all states of pressure and temperature. Ideal gases are also named perfect gases. The attributes of ideal gases are as follows,

Gas Laws

Gas laws describe the ways in which volume, temperature, pressure, and other conditions correlate when matter is in a gaseous state. The very first observations about the physical properties of gases was made by Robert Boyle in 1662. Later discoveries we…

Gaseous State

It is well known that matter exists in different forms in our surroundings. There are five known states of matter, such as solids, gases, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate. The last two are known newly in the recent days. Thus, the detailed fo…
