 LAW
⋆ 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. When 
Avogadro's law is added to the combined gas law, 
the ideal gas law results. 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. 2
 FORMULA
There are a couple of common equations for writing the
combined gas law. The classic law relates Boyle's law and
Charles' law to state:
PV/T = k
P= Pressure (atm)
V= Volume
T= Temperature (kelvin/k)
k= constant
The constant k is a true constant if the number of moles of the
gas doesn't change. Otherwise,3it varies.
 FORMULA
Another common formula for the combined gas law
relates "before and after" conditions of a gas:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
Cross-multiply to clear the fractions:
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

 EXAMPLES
1. Find the volume of a gas at standard temperature and
pressure (STP) when 2.00 liters is collected at 745.0 mm Hg
and 25.0 degrees Celsius.
 Because the law works using absolute temperature, you need to
convert 25.0 degree Celsius to Kelvin scale. 25+273= 298 Kelvin
 . It's good practice to identify the variables. In this problem they are:
P1 = 745.0 mm Hg
V1 = 2.00 L
T1 = 298 K
P2 = 760.0 mm Hg
V2 = x (the unknown you're solving for)
 EXAMPLES
 Next, take the formula and set it up to solve for the
unknown "x," which in this problem is V2:

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

 Cross-multiply to clear the fractions:
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
 Divide to isolate V2:
V2 = (P1V1T2) / (P2T1)
 EXAMPLES
Plug in the numbers and solve for V2:
V2 = (745.0 mm Hg · 2.00 L · 273 K) /
(760 mm Hg · 298 K)
V2 = 1.796 L
 Report the result using the correct 
number of significant figures:
V2 = 1.80 L
 IDEAL GAS LAW
⋆ The ideal gas law is an equation that describes
the behavior of an ideal gas and also a real gas
under conditions of ordinary temperature and
low pressure. This is one of the most useful
gas laws to know because it can be used to
find pressure, volume, number of moles, or
temperature of a gas.

 FORMULA
The formula for the ideal gas law is:

PV = nRT
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles of gas
R= ideal or universal gas constant = 0.08 L atm/ mol K
T= absolute temperature in Kelvin

10
 EXAMPLES
1. 6.2 liters of an ideal gas is contained at 3.0 atm and 37 °C.
How many moles of this gas are present?
 The ideal gas law states:
PV = nRT
 Because the units of the gas constant are given using atmospheres,
moles, and Kelvin, it's important to make sure you convert values
given in other temperature or pressure scales. For this problem,
convert °C temperature to K using the equation:
T = °C + 273
T = 37 °C + 273
T = 310 K
 EXAMPLES
 Now, you can plug in the values. Solve ideal gas law for the
number of moles
n = PV / RT
n = ( 3.0 atm x 6.2 L ) / ( 0.08 L atm /mol K x 310 K)

n = 0.75 mol
 There are 0.75 mol of the ideal gas present in the system
