## Overview

1. Equipartition of Energy $$E ; = E\_x ; + ; E\_y ; + ; E\_z ; + and ; so ; on…$$ $$E\_x ; = ; E\_y ; = ; E\_z ; = ; …$$
2. Degree of Freedom
   * Monoatomic, Diatomic, Triatomic Non-linear (aka Triatomic Cyclic); Triatomic Linear
   * Types of Freedom - Translational and Rotational
3. Derivation of the Formula for Internal Energy

   $$\triangle U ; = ; \frac{f}{2} nRT$$ (or) $$\triangle U ; = ; \frac{f}{2} PV$$
4. Mean Free Path
5. The Four Gas Laws (from **Chem**: States of Matter)
6. The Ideal Gas Equation

   $$PV ; = ; nRT$$
7. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures
