Ideal Gas Law: The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It obeys Boyle’s Law and Charles Law. Ideal Gas Law Formula : General Gas Equation: PV = nRT Pressure(P) = nRT / V Volume(V) = nRT / P Temperature(T) = PV / nR Moles of Gas(n) = PV / RT where‚ P = pressure‚ V = volume‚ n = moles of gas‚ T = temperature‚ R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1‚ ideal gas constant. Ideal Gas Law Example: Case 1: Find the volume from the 0.250 moles gas at 200kpa and 300K temperature
