      Pressure is explained by kinetic theory as arising from the force exerted by molecules or atoms impacting on the walls of a container.

      The ideal gas law relates the pressure and volume of a gas to the number of gas molecules and the temperature of the gas. A mole of any substance has a number of molecules equal to the number of atoms...The ideal gas law relates the pressure and volume of a gas to the number of gas molecules and the temperature of the gas. A mole of any substance has a number of molecules equal to the number of atoms in a 12-g sample of carbon-12. The number of molecules in a mole is called Avogadro’s number. The ideal gas law can also be written and solved in terms of the number of moles of gas: pV=nRT and is generally valid at temperatures well above the boiling temperature.

In particular, we examine the characteristics of atoms and molecules that compose gases. (Most gases, for example nitrogen, N2 and oxygen, O2 are composed of two or more atoms. We will primarily use the term “molecule” in discussing a gas because the term can also be applied to monatomic gases, such as helium.)

(As an aside, the calculation of specific heats was one of the great challenges to the theoretical physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century, and eventually led to the introduction of quantum mechanics—but that is another story!)
