Ideal Gas Law

The ideal gas law is an equation of state representing a hypothetical ideal gas, which shows that volume, pressure, temperature and the amount of substance are related via the gas constant:

pV = nRT

Where:

  • p = Pressure in pascals
  • V = Volume in m3
  • T = Temperature in Kelvin
  • n = Amount of substance in the gas in moles
  • R = The gas constant which is 8.314472 m3PaK-1mol-1 using the above units
