An Ideal Gas (perfect gas) is one, which obeys Boyle's Law and Charles' Law exactly.
An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it, as collections of perfectly hard spheres that collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other. In such a gas, all the internal energy is in the form of kinetic energy and any change in internal energy is accompanied by a change in temperature.
An ideal gas can be characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them may be deduced from kinetic theory and described as:

PV = nRT

Where;
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = moles
R (The gas constant) = 8.314472 (m3 * Pa) / (K * mol)
T = Temperature

At normal ambient conditions such as standard temperature and pressure, most real gases behave qualitatively like an ideal gas. Generally, deviation from an ideal gas tends to decrease with higher temperature and lower density, as the work performed by intermolecular forces becomes less significant compared with the particles' kinetic energy, and the size of the molecules becomes less significant compared to the empty space between them.
The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or higher pressures, when intermolecular forces and molecular size become important. At some point of low temperature and high pressure, real gases undergo a phase transition, such as to a liquid or a solid. The model of an ideal gas, however, does not describe or allow phase transitions. These must be modeled by more complex equations of state.
The ideal gas law is an extension of experimentally discovered gas laws. Real fluids at low density and high temperature approximate the behavior of a classical ideal gas. However, at lower temperatures or a higher density, a real fluid deviates strongly from the behavior of an ideal gas, particularly as it condenses from a gas into a liquid or solid. The deviation is expressed as a compressibility factor.

All conversion factors used confirmed towards N.I.S.T. web page conversion factors. Results are presented at 6 Decimal places although the conversion factors may be more precise than this. All figures treated as long numbers. However, for very critical or if very precise results are needed please confirm results.
