Interdependence of the gaseous laws. Kinetic theory of gases:

Bernoulli, Waterston, Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann, Schmidt,

Graham. Gaseous diffusion. Van der Waals’s equation. Ratio

of specific heats: Kundt and Warburg. Liquefaction of gases.

Critical temperatures and pressures: Andrews, Pictet and
