Overview
The Ideal Gas Law is a fundamental principle in chemistry that relates the pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of a gas. It is expressed as PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. Understanding ...

Example: Measured in atmospheres (atm) or pascals (Pa).
Example: Measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m³).
Example: Measured in Kelvin (K).
Example: One mole contains approximately 6.022 x 10²³ particles.
Example: Used to relate pressure, volume, temperature, and moles.
Example: If volume increases, pressure decreases.
