An Ideal Gas Is Just a Bunch of Balls. Here’s How to Model it in Python

The Ideal Gas Law. It’s covered in pretty much every middle school physical science class. It gives a relationship between pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V) and amount of a gas (n). There are actually two versions of this model. Here’s the way chemists like to write it. In SI units, R has a value of 8.314 J/K*mol. Physicists like to write it as: The difference is that N is the number of particles in the gas and k is the Boltzman constant (1.38 x 10^-23 J/K). Chemists like to think of a gas as a continuous fluid and physicists want to think of it as a bunch of discrete particles. Of course, in most situations it’s easier to think of the gas as just one thing — but it’s fun to treat it as a bunch of particles. So that’s what we are going to do. <a href="https://rjallain.medium.com/an-ideal-gas-is-just-a-bunch-of-balls-heres-how-to-model-it-in-python-e89bea3df39a">Read More</a>
