GAS LAWS CHEAT SHEET

Gas Variables and Common Units

Pressure (P) Equivalent
• atm (atmosphere)
1atm = 760torr
• torr or mmHg
1atm = 101325Pa
• Pa
1bar = 105Pa
• bar
Volume (V) Equivalent
• L (dm3)
1L = 1000mL
• kL (m3)
1kL = 1000L
• mL (cm3)
Temperature (T) Conversion
• °C (Celsius) 9
°C = ( °F + 32)
• °F (Fahrenheit) 5
• K (Kelvin)* K = °C + 273.15
*all calculations involving temperature must use K
