PV = nRT. R = 0.0821 L.atmmol.K\frac{atm}{mol.K} = 8.314 Jmol.K\frac{J}{mol.K}. Kinetic theory assumptions: point particles, no forces, elastic collisions, KE proportional to T. Average KE = 32\frac{3}{2}kT per molecule = 32\frac{3}{2}RT per mole. KE depends only on T, not on gas identity. Three speeds: umpu_{mp} = sqrt2RTM\frac{2RT}{M}, uavgu_{avg} = sqrt8RTpiM\frac{8RT}{piM}, urmsu_{rms} = sqrt3RTM\frac{3RT}{M}. Ratio: 1 : 1.128 : 1.224. All proportional to sqrtTM\frac{T}{M}. Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution: bell-shaped curve plotting fraction of molecules vs speed. Peak at umpu_{mp}. Higher T: peak shifts right, flattens (broader). Higher M: peak shifts left (slower). Area under curve always = 1 (total probability). Graham's law: r1/r2 = sqrtM2M1\frac{M2}{M1}. Dalton's law: PtotalP_{total} = sum(PiP_i). Mean free path: average distance between collisions = kTsqrt(2\frac{kT}{sqrt(2} pi d2d^2 P). Increases with T, decreases with P and molecular size.
