In the classical limit the shape of the box does not matter,
only the volume.
(If not in classical limit then the shape of the box matters,
because the values for the energy levels depend on the shape)
As said before,
for an ideal monoatomic gas at not-too-high T
this is essentially the complete molecular partition function.

This is called
Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics
division by N! correct if
the nr. of accessible states >> nr. of particles

the ideal gas law
41
The ideal gas law holds just as well for poly-atomic molecules
because molecular vibrations and rotations are independent of V,
and hence do not introduce extra V-dependent contributions in the
partition function.
The ideal gas law also holds for a mixed ideal gas with
N = N1 + N 2 + N 3 + ...
(in an ideal gas mixture pressures are simply additive)

For the mono-atomic ideal gas:

The average kinetic energy per molecule is 23 kT ( 23 RT per mol)
