This chapter discusses ideal and actual gases. It introduces the universal gas constant R and defines it as the proportionality constant in the ideal gas law relating pressure, volume, amount of gas and temperature. The chapter examines how actual gases deviate from ideal behavior and explores corrections that can be made to the ideal gas law to better model real gases.
