Gas Laws

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).
