IDEAL GAS LAW
 state the four gas variables and one constant for a
better understanding. The four gas variables
are: pressure (P), volume(V), number of mole of
gas (n), and temperature (T).
 the constant in the equation shown below is R,
known as the the gas constant, which will be
discussed in depth further later:
PV=nRT
 It was first stated by Émile Clapeyron in 1834 as a
combination of the empirical Boyle's law, 
Charles's law, Avogadro's law, and 
Gay-Lussac's law.
The Ideal Gas Law is expressed as
PV = nRT
where
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = number of moles of gas particles
T = Absolute Temperature in Kelvin
and
R is the Gas Constant.
The Gas Constant, R, while a constant, depends on the units used
to measure pressure and volume. Here are a few values of R
depending on the units.
R = 0.0821 liter·atm/mol·K
R = 8.3145 J/mol·K
R = 8.2057 m3·atm/mol·K
R = 62.3637 L·Torr/mol·K or L·mmHg/mol·K
Example #1 of Ideal Gas Law:

A 6.2 liters of an ideal gas is


contained at 3.0 atm and 37
°C. How many moles of this
gas are present?
Example #2 of Ideal Gas Law:

A cylinder of argon gas contains


50.0 L of Ar at 18.4 atm and 127
°C. How many moles of argon is
in the cylinder?
REAL LIFE APPLICATION OF IDEAL GAS
LAW
Coolant gas is compressed, causing its
temperature to increase. The hot gas is
passed through a radiator, allowing
excess heat to escape, and then the gas is
allowed to expand into the refrigerator. As
it expands, it cools off, and heat is drawn
from the interior of the refrigerator.
