| Apr 24, 2016 at 12:27 | comment | added | matt_black | There are two key points that make the ideal gas law so universal. One is that it is universal: you don't need to know the actual gas to work with the equation. The second is that there is no single real gas law and the various laws that attempt to improve on the ideal situation require you to know the specific gas involved. Mostly the ideal law is a good approximation, unless you are a chemical engineer working with extreme conditions. | |
