International Baccalaureate IB Chemistry

An ideal gas consists of moving particles with negligible volume and no intermolecular forces.

All collisions between particles are considered elastic.

Recognize the key assumptions in the ideal gas model.

Explain the limitations of the ideal gas model.

Investigate the relationship between temperature, pressure and volume for a fixed mass of an ideal gas and analyse graphs relating these variables.

Solve problems relating to the ideal gas equation. Units of volume and pressure should be SI only.
