The ideal gas equation relates the pressure, temperature and volume of an ideal gas. It encompasses the three perfect gas laws described below.
PV = nRT
where P is absolute pressure (Pa), V is volume (m3), n is amount of substance (mol), R is the universal gas constant (8.314 J·K−1·mol−1), and T is temperature (K).
Boyle’s law: at a constant temperature, the volume of an ideal gas is indirectly proportional to pressure.
Charles’s law: at a constant pressure, the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
Gay-Lussac’s law: at a constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
Avogadro’s hypothesis: at a constant temperature and pressure, all gases of the same
volume contain an equal number of molecules.
Dalton’s law: the pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of its constituents.
Henry’s law: at a constant temperature, the amount of gas dissolved in a given volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with the liquid.
