What is an equation of state ? Give an example

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equation of state: The equation which connects the state variables in a specific manner is called equation of state. An ideal gas obeys the equation `PV = NkT` at thermodynamic equilibrium.
For example, if we push the piston of a gas container, the volume of the gas will decrease but pressure will increase or if heat is supplied to the gas, its temperature will increase, pressure and volume of the gas may also increase.
