  Ideal gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ideal gas or perfect gas is a hypothetical gas consisting of identical particles of negligible volume, with no intermolecular forces.
The thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas can be described by two equations: The equation of state of a classical ideal gas is given by the ideal gas law.
Any gas behaves as an ideal gas at high enough temperature and low enough density, but at the point where the Sackur-Tetrode equation begins to break down, the gas will begin to behave as a quantum gas, composed of either bosons or fermions.

 Gas constant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gas constant (also known as the universal or ideal gas constant, usually denoted by symbol R) is a physical constant used in equations of state to relate various groups of state functions to one another.
