In this video, I derive the relationship between pressure and temperature using the kinetic theory of gases. We will see the relationship between the temperature and the mean kinetic energy of the gas molecules. Furthermore, we will show that the pressure depends only on the energy density in the gas.

Perfect analysis. Thank you very very much.

"But now comes a crucial point. If we consider the gas as a kind of coherent mass, a so called continuum, then within the time period dt, the total number of molecules Nx in the collision volume would have changed their momentum exactly once each by the given amount. Thus, if we consider the total impulse of all molecules in the collision volume and therefore the total force these molecules exert on the piston, then both times are indeed identical." I have no idea what that means and how that conclusion is made.
