It is the second-smallest county by total area in Maryland. Notable waterways include the Choptank River and Tuckahoe Creek, as well as the man-made Williston Lake. Caroline County currently ranks seventh nationally in terms of land protected under the Ag Preservation Program.
Dry air contains roughly (by volume): All the above are relatively small, light, non-polar molecules, characteristics mimicking an ideal gas. At normal ambient conditions such as standard temperature and pressure, most real gases behave qualitatively like an ideal gas.
Ideal Gas Definition. An ideal gas is a gas whose pressure P, volume V, and temperature T are related by the ideal gas law. PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R is the ideal gas constant. Ideal gases are defined as having molecules with negligible size with an average molar kinetic energy dependent only on temperature. At low temperature, most gases behave enough like ideal gases that the ideal gas law can be applied to them.
