Answer to Question #283082 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Nims

Question

What is ideal gas equations?

Answer 1

The ideal gas law is:

$PV=nRT$ , where

P is the pressure (in kPa);

V is the volume (in liters);

n is the number of moles of a gas;

R is the gas constant ($8.314\ \frac{J}{mol\cdot{K}}$ );

T is the temperature (in Kelvins).

Other equations that relate above parameters are:

• Boyle's law $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$ ;

• Charles's law $\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}$ ;

• Gay-Lussac's law $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$ ;

• Avogadro's law $\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2}$ ;

• Combined gas law $\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ .
