This tag is for questions relating to "gas", one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). Gases follow certain laws known as the gas laws. These laws tell us about the behavior of gases i.e., the values and relations of temperature, pressure and volume etc.

Van der Waals derivation: How is the pressure term exactly derived?

The van der Waals equation is: $$ \left(p + \frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)\left(V-nb\right) = nRT $$ I understand the volume term, it basically reduces the avalaible volume because the particles have volume …

What happens to entropy during compression?

For a gas, these microstates can be related to both position (where the particles are in space) and momentum (how fast they're moving). … During compression: Spatial microstates (related to volume) decrease as the gas is squeezed into a smaller space. …
