To derive the ideal gas law one does not need to know all 6 formulas, one can just know 3 and with those derive the rest or just one more to be able to get the ideal gas law, which needs 4. Since each formula only holds when only the state variables involved in said formula change while the others (which are a property of the gas but are not ...
Boltzmann's entropy formula—carved on his gravestone. [1]In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann's entropy formula (also known as the Boltzmann–Planck equation, not to be confused with the more general Boltzmann equation, which is a partial differential equation) is a probability equation relating the entropy, also written as , of an ideal gas to the multiplicity (commonly denoted as or ), the ...
Under the assumption of ideal gas law, heat and work flows go in the same direction (K < 0), such as in an internal combustion engine during the power stroke, where heat is lost from the hot combustion products, through the cylinder walls, to the cooler surroundings, at the same time as those hot combustion products push on the piston.
The Sackur–Tetrode equation is an expression for the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas. [ 1 ] It is named for Hugo Martin Tetrode [ 2 ] (1895–1931) and Otto Sackur [ 3 ] (1880–1914), who developed it independently as a solution of Boltzmann's gas statistics and entropy equations, at about the same time in 1912.

In the case of an ideal gas, the heat capacity is constant and the ideal gas law PV = nRT gives that α V V = V/T = nR/p, with n the number of moles and R the molar ideal-gas constant. So, the molar entropy of an ideal gas is given by (,) = (,) + . In this expression C P now is the molar heat capacity. The entropy of inhomogeneous ...
One can solve this simple differential equation to find P V γ = constant = K {\displaystyle PV^{\gamma }={\text{constant}}=K} This equation is known as an expression for the adiabatic constant, K, also called the adiabat.
The ideal gas law is the equation of state for an ideal gas, given by: = where P is the pressure; V is the volume; n is the amount of substance of the gas (in moles) T is the absolute temperature; R is the gas constant, which must be expressed in units consistent with those chosen for pressure, volume and temperature.
