Ideal Gas Law

What is Boyle's Law?

Boyle's Law states that pressure and volume of a gas are indirectly proportional, represented by the equation PV = k.

What is Charles' Law?

Charles' Law states that volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional, represented by the equation V/T = k.

What is Gay-Lussac's Law?

Gay-Lussac's Law states that pressure and temperature of a gas are directly proportional, represented by the equation P/T = k.

What does the Ideal Gas Law represent?

The Ideal Gas Law represents the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and the amount of gas, given by the equation PV=nRT.

What is the equation of state for gases?

The equation of state for gases is the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT.

What is the constant R in the Ideal Gas Law?

The constant R in the Ideal Gas Law is 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol.

What variables are used to describe a gas?

The four variables used to describe a gas are pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles.

How do you convert degrees Celsius to Kelvin?

To convert degrees Celsius to Kelvin, add 273 to the Celsius temperature.

What units must pressure, volume, and temperature be in to use the Ideal Gas Law?

Pressure must be in atmospheres (atm), volume must be in liters (L), and temperature must be in Kelvin (K).

If you know three variables of a gas, what can you calculate?

If you know three variables of a gas (pressure, volume, temperature, amount), you can calculate the fourth variable using the Ideal Gas Law.

What is the combined gas law?

The combined gas law is a formulation that combines Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law, relating pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas in a single equation, typically expressed as (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2.
