- Learning Goal: To understand the ideal gas law and be able to apply it to a wide variety of situations. The absolute temperature T, volume V, and pressure p of a gas sample are related by the ideal gas law, which states that pV nRT. Here is the number of moles in the gas sample and R is a gas constant that applies to all gases. This empirical law describes gases well only if they are sufficiently dilute and at a sufficiently high temperature that they are not on the verge of condensing. In applying the ideal gas law, p must be the absolute pressure, measured with respect to vacuum and not with respect to atmospheric pressure, and T must be the absolute temperature, measured in kelvins (that is, with respect to absolute zero, defined throughout this tutorial as -273°C). If p is in pascals and Vis in cubic meters, use R 8.3145 J/(mol-K). If p is in atmospheres and V is in liters, use R = 0.08206 L-atm/(mol-K) instead.
