  Ideal Gas Law Equilibrium Requirements

+ 0 like - 2 dislike
511 views

It is well known that the ideal gas law applies only to an ideal gas, one consisting of particles infinitesimal in size and exhibits no interactions between the particles. Considering an ideal gas, is the ideal gas law valid under non-equilibrium conditions? For example, does the ideal gas law hold for all instants of in the free expansion of an ideal gas?

Closed as per community consensus as the post is not graduate-level. Might be more appropriate at PhysicsForums.com

Voting to close.

PhysicsOverflow is a graduate-level site, high-school level questions are not appropriate here. They might have a better reception at Physics Forums.
