The combined gas law combines the

three gas laws: Boyle's Law, Charles' Law,
and Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the
ratio of the product
of pressure and volume and the absolute
temperature of a gas is equal to a
constant.
Unlike the named gas laws, the combined
gas law doesn't have an official
discoverer. It is simply a combination of
the other gas laws that works when
everything except temperature, pressure,
and volume are held constant.
The classic law relates Boyle's law and
Charles' law to state:

PV/T = k
where P = pressure,V = volume, T = absolute
temperature (Kelvin), and k = constant.
Another common formula for the
combined gas law relates "before and
after" conditions of a gas:

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2A gas has a

volume of 800.0 mL at −23.0 °C and 300.0
torr. What would the volume of the gas be
at 227.0 °C and 600.0 torr of pressure?
EXAMPLE:
A gas has a volume of 800.0 mL at −23.0
°C and 300.0 torr. What would the volume
of the gas be at 227.0 °C and 600.0 torr of
pressure?
STEP 1: Set up all the problem values in a
solution matrix:

P1 = 300 torr P2 =600 torr

V1 = 800 ml V2 = ?

T1 = 250 k T2 = 500 k
STEP 2: The combined gas law is
rearranged to isolate V2:

V2 = P1V1T2V2 / P2T1
STEP 3: Substitute the given

V2 = (300 torr)(800 ml)(500 k)/(250 k) (600

torr)

ANSWER: 800 ml
