Summary of Gas relationships:

 

V = volume;  P = pressure; T = temperature (K); n = number of moles of gas

 

Volume and Pressure – Boyle’s Law:

 

V a 1/P     [T & n constant]

 

Temperature and Volume – Charles Law:

 

V a T       [P & n constant]

 

Volume and Quantity m- Avogadro’s Law:

 

V a n       [T & P constant]

 

Ideal Gas Law (combination of the above relationships)

 

P×V = n×R×T

 

[R is the gas constant = 0.08206 L×atm×mol-1×K-1 = 8.314 J×mol-1×K-1]

 

 

 

Variations on Ideal Gas Law:

 

P-V:   Pi×Vi = Pf×Vf

 

P-T:  Pi /Ti = Pf/Tf
