PV = nRT - Calculate any variable
Pressure (P)
1.0011
atm
Gas Constant (R)
0.0821 Lยทatm/(molยทK)
Formula
PV = nRT
At STP (0ยฐC, 1 atm), one mole of any ideal gas occupies exactly 22.4 liters
Absolute zero (0 K) is where gas particles theoretically stop moving completely
Car tires increase pressure when warm due to PV=nRT - check cold for accuracy
At Mount Everest's summit, pressure is only 0.33 atm - hard to breathe!
Helium balloons deflate faster than air - smaller atoms escape through latex
Real gases deviate from ideal behavior at high pressure and low temperature
Scuba divers use gas laws to prevent decompression sickness (the bends)
Weather prediction relies heavily on ideal gas law calculations
