Applications 

The ideal gas law comes in handy in commercial buildings. ventilation units should be installed in any commercial building where air ventilation is not adequate enough to maintain a balance between the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The amount of ventilation depends on the number of people in the building and the activities they are doing, for example a crowded gym would need more ventilation than a shopping malls.

Also, closed sealed areas like airplanes where there must be proper pressure balance between the air inside and the air outside the plane. the average pressure in the cabin and the atmosphere, along with the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere is all found using the idea gas law, it indicates the  amount of oxygen is required to maintain the equilibrium between the air inside and outside the cabin.

Airbags in vehicles also use the ideal gas law, they are responsible for working the mechanics of airbags. as airbags deploy, they fill quickly with the right kind of gases, to make them inflate, they are filled with nitrogen gas. the nitrogen gas is produced with another substance called sodium azide.

The mechanics of hot air balloons can be explained using the ideal gas law. A hot air balloon requires the correct mixture and balance of gases to inflate safely and adequately. A torch is used to ignite the hot air balloon, which triggers the releases of gases that help the balloon inflate.

We use ideal gases in one thing every single day, in-fact we are doing it right now. Ideal gas laws can be used in the process of inhalation, as our lungs expand and collapse after exhalation, we do this to help air rush into our lungs, keeping us alive
